    Good. Ad-blocking is piracy. Those content creators you are watching are depending on the revenue from ads. Either watch ads or buy premium. Third option? Don’t watch youtube.

      Most people don’t have a problem with ads.

      People have a problem when the ads are so intrusive and prevalent they get in the way of the actual content. People have a problem with ad networks acting like obsessed stalkers – building incredibly detailed profiles of them as a person and selling that information to others.

      Nope sorry, Youtube gets punished for bad ad practices. You don’t get to pretend that the content creator is the victim of the ad-blocking user when YT controls the platform.
