Devil’s advocate: if you do things the legit way, absorb the ads or go for the pay tiers, do you think there’s ever a point the advertisers and platforms say “this is the right amount of ads.” ? Seems like it’s an infinite process of cramming in more garbage. Personally I’m happy to engage in the arms race because it’s not bothersome to me personally, and I’m fine with some “theft” as long as I’m paying back into the creators by whatever their preferred support structure is.
I started using adblockers when I got tired of scraping my PC clean of malware every week, but kept YouTube whitelisted.
The third time they tried to show me a 27 minute ad I gave up and blocked them too.
