Not sure if this is correct but my hypothesis is that the difference between those threads is that in
A. They are thinking of what they consider an average user (most likely stupid, blissfully unaware of tracking and how companies are controlling him) whilst using ad blockers themselves or relative strong measures to avoid tracking.
B. They are thinking of themselves as the customer to some extent and knowing that they don't ever click on ads as often, it's most likely wasted money.
Again, I am not completely sure but it feels like the person is thinking of different subject in A and B when analysing.
C. It could be that the plan is to make Google look evil in both cases. By robbing both you and companies out of their money and data.
