Please realize how I was talking about ad blocking and ad blocking only here, not that some ad blocker lists also include tracking blocking.
I use the ad blocker example because it's a perfect analogy that is much easier to grasp. The effect of privacy blocking is almost impossible to quantify, because you don't know how much less data about you is collected due to using them. With ad blockers you can easily see yourself how effective they are.
