Cubic-curve extremal conjecture for blocking points

Let PP be a set of nn points in the plane in general position, and let BB be a set of blocking points for PP, meaning that every line spanned by PP contains a point of BB.

Cubic-curve extremal conjecture. If B=n|B|=n, then all points in PBP\cup B lie on a cubic curve.

This is an extremal variant of the blocking-points problem, motivated by the structure theorem for strong triangle blocking arrangements and by the extremal theorem of Green and Tao. The source does not provide evidence that the conjecture has been solved.
