And they respond in the most predictable way: enshittifying the experience more and more so that more users will employ adblockers or leave. Nobody needed adblockers when ads weren't abusive, it took years for them to become as such so that someone created the first adblocker. There is a line separating ads that are acceptable if not interesting when unobtrusive and carefully targeted, from the load of crap they shovel at our face. Unfortunately that's how the system is built: not just making profits but maximizing them, which can't scale indefinitely, and the ever growing advertising that ruins both platforms and content value is just another warning that this system is broken from its roots.
