You're acting like Facebook isn't hostile to adblockers, Facebook is making it very difficult to block their ads continuously.

It's easy, I have every single Facebook owned domain blocked at the network level and I never see a Facebook ad. Or Facebook.

Unless you're in ad-tech there is no reason why you would.

I wouldn't go quite that far, but the sense of schadenfreude on reading the article was through the roof.

Spam and web advertising have always been underhanded, and if a person with "15+ years in adtech" can't avoid an ad scam, what does that mean for everybody else?

fwiw Facebook has a dedicated team for adblocker circumvention.
