If you have LinkedIn Premium, you can see they've grown from 188 to 248 employees in the past year. Of those, 8 have been engineers. Overall, it looks like they have about 57 engineers in total now.
How many people have left in that period of time? Churn is a valuable metric.

I don’t use them. If the ads I see are too offensive, I don’t visit the site again. If there’s a paywall and I want to get around it, I pay.
When companies actually honor the DNT headers I may consider this, but for me as long as these sites refuse to stop tracking I feel I have no choice but to block their ad software.

But I mean you do have a choice right?

Considering how many people have trackers I'd argue that I don't really have a choice, unless I'm planning on completely leaving society. My bank, cell phone company, my electric company, my water bill- all of these are on websites that have trackers of various sorts.
You do have a choice: go to the bank, pay your bills by mail, call a company on the phone, etc. AFAIK none of those things are examples of leaving society. You may not like that choice, but don’t pretend it doesn’t exist.
You’re acting like your hand is somehow forced by something you find objectionable when alternatives do exist.
I think a lot of companies post job openings as a form of advertising. I'm not saying that is what is happening here, but there always seems to be a set of companies that have the same positions listed for over a year, despite being relatively small companies.
When I see a position that's been open for awhile (one company has popped up here on and off for what feels like ~2 years), it seems to raise a red flag. If you can't fill the position, something is off.

Yes, because you're using the site for free it's not up to you.
Browser extension it is then (you can detect the job posts, as they have no discuss ability), although I would love a way to donate to mods so they can go get a fancy lunch or something like that. I love HN, I think the mods' work is super valuable, but I block ads in general (while donating cash to non-profits and paying for news sources I consume), so of course I would want to filter what I want. EDIT: I'm apparent…
It's just so reasonable for HN to give back to YC in exchange for funding it, though, that I don't believe the bulk of the community has a problem with it. It seems to me, if anything, on the modest side.
Writing code to make the browser drop the job ad and slide #31 up to #30 isn't hard. The code for HN's 'hide' feature does something similar already. That's probably your best bet.
Not sure why YC would build a feature to limit the audience of their job postings on a platform they own and operate
There's a "hide" button on every post on HN, including job posts.
It's extra helpful on the 1st of every month. There seems to be more and more varieties of the "Who's X-ing?" posts every month. The hide button is a great way to unobtrusively clear out stuff you don't care about. One of the best features.
