poedb seems to be blocking users from accessing the site if using adblockers, fyi

Edit: ayjaz seems to have found the solution, thank you. im going to leave this up for future people to find if they run into the issue as well but it is solved now.

I think most people know about https://poedb.tw/us by this point but in short it is a great information source and dataminer site, very useful for many things including very well done lists of mods on all items.

today i went to look up something on the site but it was just showing up as a blank white page, i thought the issue was on my end, so i tried to refresh and then tried to load in an incognito tab to remove any mods on my end that might be affecting anything. it worked at this point but of course was showing a bunch of ads.

i turned adblock on and the site no longer loaded so i decided to dig a little deeper and found that if you try to load the site with ublock origin (my adblocker, and a very nice one unlike adblock), it tries to run a java script called

https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/fuckadblock/3.2.1/fuckadblock.min.js

this signals to me that the issue is not some malfunctioning adblocker or ad, but rather that the owners of the site have chosen to make it work only for people who look at ads, or pay to view the site.

to be clear, i understand it takes money to run a site and that they, as the owners, are fully within their rights to do anything they want with it. but i wanted to at least get this information out there so people know whats going on.

i have attempted to contact the site but have not gotten as response yet. if i get one i will post it here for future reference
