He's got a point. It's kinda weird how I can just block every advert I see. But also super weird to not be able to block dingleberries either.
A block is probably worth something to them though. It shows you viewed it and interacted, even if it was to block it.
I feel like the advertiser would rather I engage with their betting site instead of me blocking them. I get such trashy looking betting adverts now, none of the major betting shops as they are blocked.
