Fair enough but you can't plan on paying for a product before you have seen what it was.

Well, the blocker doesn't stop me from seeing the ad, it stops me from wasting my time manually skipping the ad. I still don't see how that's going to change my mind about anything.

Also, if you were thinking of getting anything from a youtube ad: they are almost exclusively bad products. If you need something, just do a tiny bit of research instead of going with the first thing a content creator agreed to shill for.
