Once again daddy Google being an absolute asshole against projects that can damage their tracking practices.

Slow and steady is a better practice than going for the big ones outright.

People are not predictable and they need to be sure this wont affect their business by creating a trend. On second thought it is a bit surprising that no tiktok trend has exploded where they instruct people to block ads with uBlock.
