Why is this becoming an issue now? I've been blocking adverts on-and-off for 10 years or so. Back then it was manually editing a HOSTS file - is it just in the news now because it's becoming slightly easier on iPhone?

It becomes mainstream. We are at a point where we get less content, because revenue for content-creators is impacted by blocking.
