I initially though this was going to be a critique about facebook container...glad to know there’s nothing wrong with that.
But blocking in general never made much sense to me on a website… though I guess facebook is getting to be more and more of a self-contained adterner rather than a website.
As in, whatever you would all the self-contained ad distribution and behavior monitoring networks being build by the big tech companies. E.g. you can sell stuff on facebook, follow news, chat with friends, use a dating app, use maps, store data… etc, so it becomes a self-contained ecosystem, and maybe you leave to play games, but it’s on a facebook controlled VR system, or you are young and you want to have a space for only you and your young friend to share stuff, so you go to FB controlled Instagram, or you don’t use FB messanger so you message via facebook controlled whatsapp… etc
Facebook being just an example, you have similar setups for verzion, amazon, twitter and google (and probably more), and they are all collaborative to some extent.
adternet as just and tongue in cheek way of saying “internet but built for the express purpose of targeting ads”.
