They could render the whole thing in canvas for example

So you'd block all canvas elements if ads are always a <canvas>.

If they turn all their posts into <canvas> then it'd kill any accessibility features and the ability to copy-paste text and such so I doubt they'd go that far.

Even then, a scraper could run OCR on the canvas image to get the text out of it.

I don't think these html pieces is very accessibility-tool friendly..

And then you’d switch to an img tag
