This doesn’t work. I have blocked over 26k accounts and I still see ads. I don’t have blocked Apple or DuckDuckGo and most of the time I see those, but every single day I’m blocking more and more sponsored accounts because they keep appearing. You can’t block all of them.

Here’s my Block List. Not sure why it didn’t update for two months, maybe it doesn’t work anymore:

They come back, but it's significantly lower volume than without the block. I recently made a new account and was surprised by the volume.

Mine is 100% (I think) from blocking ads, if you want a second source: https://blocktogether.org/show-blocks/njFjyOn40oKxRW8XJLmN70...
