This is a new kind of scammer
I'm talking something like hblock (https://hblock.molinero.dev/) which is for host blocking malceous+ other websites. Imagine blocking every single address manually. To get a picture how impossible it be here is the sample hosts file (https://hblock.molinero.dev/hosts) just do line count and you will understand.

New blocklist added: hBlock
Yeah, definitely going to skip that list. Compare how Hagezi and hblock deal with the exact same issue, still not going to adopt it because the hype turns me off, but at least I prefer "ok, we make sure the site you visit doesn't break" compared to dismissive "oh it's a tracker so it's your fault".
