I was going to look this up, but it seems at least one of the people that maintain my pihole's lists have already blocked the domain. In any case, I like not being monitored in real time.

The whole concept of real user monitoring is that it allows you to detect erroneous patterns in how they specifically use your product, so that you can ideally fix said problems if they're common enough.
