The popular content blocking extension uBlock Origin blocks CSP reporting on websites that make use of it if it injects neutered scripts.
CSP, Content Security Policy, can be used by web developers to whitelist code that is allowed to run on web properties. The idea behind the feature is to prevent attackers from injecting JavaScript on websites protected by CSP.
CSP reports any attempt of interfering with the site's policies in regards to scripts to the webmaster. This happens when users connect to the site, and is used by webmasters to analyze and resolve the detected issues.
[...] Raymond Hill, the developer of uBlock Origin, replied stating that this was not a bug but by design. The extension blocks the sending of CSP reports if it injects a neutered Google Analytics script.

Sorry to tell you this, but back "when websites were a labour of love created by people that wished to share their hobbies and their knowledge," your connection to the Internet was 0.05 Mbps or slower. A 300 kB JPEG image would have taken a whole minute to load. There wasn't enough demand to view "labour of love" websites among the non-academic public to ensure the economies of scale needed to provide high-speed Internet access in homes.
Your home and mobile ISPs are probably a corporation or LLC. So good luck running a city-wide last-mile network without "corporate shit". Good luck even obtaining rights-of-way from your city's public utility board or from the national radio regulator without such an entity in place.

Good luck with that shilling, I hear India and China are really bringing down the cost of decent quality garbage.
