> You know you can block them right?

1) Causing massive pollution of the Web and then saying this to the 95% of the world who are not represented by the EU is tone-deaf.

2) This is an added tool that has to be installed, meaning most people will still experience the popups.

3) uBlock origin has limited browser support. Telling the world they need to browse the Web differently is an answer that is only a variant of the pop-up problem that also tells users to brows the Web differently (by navigating popups).
