@PaulDavisTheFirst speaking for myself it is a matter of purposefully not going for platforms where monetizing the user is the target.
While we can have a good experience with this web blocking stuff, other people we interact with and send links to do not have that same experience.

It is the same reason I stopped sending news article links to friends, it is just awful the amount of popups and ads a simple short news post has.

With mastodon I am 100% okay with sending links to my random posts
