Just watch the ads if your worried your YouTubers are not getting money...or donate to them. I would refuse to use an ad blocker that didn't block the ads but added more crap to my system to make a black screen
The question becomes, how does someone that does not have any disposable income support creators they like without inundating themselves with ads for products they are unable to afford?
I'd probably just mute the ad and go to a different tab or look away from the screen. I don't mean that to sound flippant, but it feels like the easiest solution.
The problem with that is lost time. Itβs not much, but it can be a bit of a headache especially on things like repair videos.
That's true, especially when the video itself is only like 90 seconds long.
