I feel the same way.
I almost never do these blocker, fake blocker bets against people's game which I respect since I think they will just see that bet and raise it a lot and then I feel compelled to call, but I'm generally not sure of what their tendencies are and what they think my calling/raising tendencies would be so I mostly try to avoid the situation by making these feeler type bets.
Right now anyway I feel that the general mantra for the 2+2 crowd is that once you bet weakly, you are forced to call a raise in a ton of scenarios. So perhaps there is room once again for the blocker bet to fold because the games have adapted.
