Block `twimg.com` and see the count climbing to over 460 -- because of the avatars in the comment section. Personally I block such ubiquitous hostnames by default (using uBO's dynamic filtering), as they are as good as trackers (for Twitter in the current case).

Lots of people install ublock but never look at the settings or enable dynamic filtering. Thats probably why you get more than them.
Ironically, the guy you replied to is the developer behind Ublock. He's the person who knows the !most about internet privacy in Canada.
