Did you read the article? He has a small sponsorship message, not an advertisement. And someone still submitted it to Easylist.

  A sponsorship message is an advert. Easylist is working as intended. The "acceptable ads" program is an entirely separate whitelist and it makes no difference if the advert meets those criteria.

  It's still an ad. Calling it a sponsorship doesn't change that. Granted, it's an unobtrusive ad (at best), but it has every reason to be filtered out by a gosh-darn ad-blocker.

    Yet ABP seeks to not block 'acceptable ads' so your categorical line of thought here isn't one they claim to follow

      1. ABP does this as an option, and does this for financial gain [0]. 2. This is why I don't use ABP anymore. 3. This is about EasyList, which ABP uses, but the two should not be confused. EasyList seeks to block adverts.

  That's kinda silly even if people may technically view it as an ad.
