    That is probably true but the average person won’t be able to get past the stage finding a non-IP-blocked VPN.

      Not necessarily, sure the average person will have a much harder time, but inevitably, word of mouth networks form and people quickly share which VPN isn’t currently caught by the blocks. That’s how it is in mainland China, and they have very strict DPI going on so the word of mouth workarounds are like “use this shadowsocks provider” etc
