How does IPV6 affect ip blocking. As a VPN user I wish it wasn't used as a metric for sites shaking you down.

It's just as easy or hard to map out a VPN's egress subnets on v6 than it is on v4.
I assume for aggressive blocking the only prefix size will change. What is a /32 for IPv4 might become a /64 or smaller for IPv6.
Larger. A /56 and get multiple hits from nearby /56s and you block the /48.
