Enough people did that once, and then Twitter changed blocking to ignore that. I've used a blocklist of top-500 advertisers that was making rounds, and it stopped working after a while.

You can't win with a platform on the platform's turf.

You are right, it would just get stomped down. Either by detecting that the block was automated, or because it stems from a promoted tweet.

The only winning move is not to play the game. Or play a game that you can own.

Blocking accounts still prevents them from showing you promoted tweets. I think the only thing that stopped working was the ability to share and subscribe to block lists.
