I use an adblocker in the 1st place because ads got annoying and harmful (malware). I don’t mind a short, relevant ad. Now that google has double down on ads, I have doubledowned on blocking them. I not only block as I was doing before, I spitefully cost advertisers extra money.
It amazes me the amount of effort people will put into not watching ads on an ad-supported platform.
I’m poor and google sucks. Once I get some money, I’ll probably donate to the youtubers directly on patreon or whatever they use.
I just pay them, because I value my time.
Now see, if only someone else valued my time, I’d be able to “just pay them”.
