Depends.

I don't have a problem with people who interact with others on a range of interests and occasionally sell their own stuff.

But when the account is primarily for marketing purposes, then blocking is the right thing to do. You don't have to put up with the advertising crap, and they can carry on doing it somewhere else. Everybody's happy.

When I was on Xitter, I had a block list with literally thousands of ad accounts. Mastodon is much better. I want to keep it that way.
