Your hosts file won't be the same size unless you copy the whole page into the file and save it as it is a very long list. This will solve the problem for the link redirects for any links you click which go to those webpages. If a link redirects to any of those shock sites the page will simply not load. If the link is working correctly it will load for you just fine. I hope this is helpful!
Any site you want to block can be typed in here. If you want those gross sites blocked, go to:
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Now copy the section called "#<shock-sites>" like so:
