I can think of three reasons:
1. ad blockers are still so niche that it's not worth it to them
2. static IP addresses are dead-simple to block in a router or (probably? not a browser coder) in a browser plugin
3. static IP addresses aren't a real great cloud pattern, they're hard to scale out to meet demand
- leesalminen 4y agoRe #3 - AWS Global Accelerator will give you 2 anycast static IPs that you can then route at will inside AWS.
- great_wubwub 4y agoSure, and you can do BYOIP with cloud providers or CDNs. But then those IPs are trivial to block, and although I've never tried it, I suspect AWS GA isn't set up to constantly rotate IP addresses.
