Get out, now.
It’s quite computationally expensive to hold on to the block feature. He’s out to save money.
Curious about this, what makes it computationally expensive?
Imagine a website where EVERYONE sees the exact same content. You could just calculate that content once, save the result, and give everyone that pre-calculated result. This is called caching (roughly speaking).
Now imagine the other extreme: NOONE sees the same content. That means you have to do your (comparatively) expensive calculations every single time. That requires a lot more compute power, esp. if you want to maintain a decent speed.
Most websites aren’t entirely one or the other, but in general anything customizable will make things just a little less cache-able, and therefore everything a little more compute-intensive. Blocking is one of those customizations.
Computational power has Jack shit to do with his decision. That’s just a cheap talking point meant to justify it in our eyes as if most of us even know what it means.
Stop letting obvious concern trolls manipulate you into accepting absurdities.
