Yeah I have a feeling a lot of people who aren't technically inclined would get this confused with dark web(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_web) which as we know is completely different.

Just straight up call it what it is in the title; traffic with adblockers enabled or adblocked-traffic. Otherwise this article just comes off feeling like it was intentionally written as a click/rage-bait.

Ads are (non-governmental) propaganda. The ad industry will use propaganda techniques to encourage people to consume their propaganda.
