Those are fair points. Regarding adblock in the official app, you can use ReVanced to patch an .apk similar to how you block ads in YouTube.

If you have an adblocker and/or other privacy browser plugins how do they make any money from you? If anything, you've wasted some bandwidth and server cycles, so you cost them money.

I suppose an argument could be made that by adding to it you've created some tiny bit of content someone without adblockers might be enticed to see.

This is becoming like the "dead MMO" meme. Just because you no longer use it doesn't mean it's dead.
