Reminds me of how nobody could see one of my user's avatars because the url (a hash) had started with an "ad" segment (for bucketing), as in "/avatars/ad/ad3adb33f". So adblockers blocked it.

My protest against such a ridiculous heuristic was to not fix it.

It makes sense why you would choose to do that and I can certainly empathize, but in the interest of user experience I try to fix these problems because my customers deserve a good user experience.
