On Twitter, I've been blocking every account that pushes ads. Slowly I think I've gotten most of them lol. I don't see as many now.

- ocdtrekkie 5y agoAnecdotally, this strategy does not work on Reddit: I've blocked u/madebygoogle and still get shown ads by that user account all the time. Gonna try it on Twitter though since you say it works...
- devb 5y agoI've been doing this for several years, and it doesn't seem to reduce the number of ads I get. I just start getting absurdly irrelevant ads. A memorable one was for @7Up_Nigeria. I live near NYC.

- derwiki 5y agoIs that a list that can be easily exported/imported?
- artursapek 5y agoI don't think so, which makes my account more precious :)
