Code blocks are definitely not HN's quotation style and not recommended for quotes. They are often used for that purpose by mistake. It is an understandable mistake considering the lack of formatting options here.
A common quotation style that works on all devices is what I used above, a leading '>' followed by the quoted text enclosed in asterisks, like this (with code formatting here to show the special characters):
> *For the benefit...*
> *Blank line between paragraphs*
> Attempting to claim the combination of these optional user choices is 'ad swapping' in a nefarious, unethical sense is simply dishonest.

"That said, it's important to note that using a blocker is NOT theft.
Don't fall for this creepy idea.
The ultimate logical consequence of blocking = theft is the criminalisation of the inalienable right to privacy. ")
