    Look right, those advertisers paid good money for people in your demographic to receive those ads. Who are you selfishly block all thier hard work with your “preferences”. Geez, the entitlement of some people.

    /s, just in case

      So true! I actually developed that ad specifically for user 781J233HH1 on our database, personally! And what, he just uses his “free will” and “freedom” to “block” my perfectly constructed ad?! Yeah, right!! Not on my watch, buddy!

    I’m not a fan either, but according to Apple their main News posts are “curated” by staffers.

    Therefore it’s not an algorithm that can filter out certain topics and sites per your preferences. If they decide a post is newsworthy in the main area, and it just happens to be from a blocked site, you see that.

      They know you blocked it. They could just hide the element. The feed may be sent to your device, but there’s no reason to show blocked content like this.
