Erm no. Convince me to set your site to 0.0.0.0 and never see it again. Ever.

This has been my MO for a while. Even big name sites and articles that I am interested in.

If you block me because of ab+, I will just close the tab.

that's the thing, it doesn't block you. it lets you see the consequences. like you would enable images on an email (usually hidden) just to see it more clearly.

Whenever a site does this i automatically set it to "never visit again" in my mind.

Well if it's a good site, google will keep showing it to you.

or should ad blockers circumvent google serps as well?
