What's the purpose of this comment?

My point is that a random dev running a pretty plain adblock (aren't we all?) simply cannot view their post. This is down to uber, their practices, an external developer and how uber create their blog (they don't just have the content in the page). If I'm not a special case with extremely weird luck, a bunch of devs seeing links to their posts will open them and not see any actual content. They will then, I assume, be less likely to upvote them.

Given that they are seeing problems with posts being upvoted this seems somewhat relevant.

I have no issues reading their blog with uBlock Origin.

You are running software that is blocking content you want to read. That is my point.

If I put on blinders and then complain I can't see your stuff, that's my fault not yours - regardless if your stuff is good or the worst annoying spam ever. If I want to see it for some reason, maybe I should take off the blinders

Yes. It's my point too. I am running very standard software for a dev and it is stopping their dev blog posts being visible.

I'm not complaining. I'm explaining, given the evidence I have, why they may be seeing poor results on HN. If I'm not alone (and since I have no custom setup designed to keep our their blog posts that would be a surprise) then there are other developers who cannot see their posts.
