…no, it didn’t. ISPs can’t just block access to specific dns servers Willy nilly. They can slow down specific dns servers of their choice but there’s literally no incentive to do so. Your individual dns traffic isn’t that important I promise.

They do worse than block it, the redirect it to their own servers.

And the data is worth it at volume. They have hundreds of thousands of users, along with the region they are in, as well as data on what websites they visit.

Advertisers have and continue to pay for that data.

They don’t have any reason to redirect it. They can see your dns queries either way,
