> Is advertising dead on the desktop?

It could mean that the only thing keeping the ad supported internet alive is the lack of AD blockers on mobile operating systems.

lack of their ubiquitous use you mean? ios added ad blockers and put the ad sector in a tizzy

iOS ad blockers only apply to webkit views. Facebook's app is not effected by ad blockers.

i will never ever install FB app or FB messenger on my cell phone anymore. Firefox with adblock, and if I can't message, well then there is SMS/Viber/Whatsapp/Hangouts/whateva.
