    Again, im not naive enough to think that everyone can block all ads without consequence.

    So I don’t use sponsorblock.

    If I’m that offended by a sponsor spot, I can always skip it (an option usually unavailable with typical ads) or just close the video. If you’re pushing crytoscams, I’m pushing close.

      Then you should support an opt in system for ads I assume. Opt in. Heart’s content. Bob’s your Uncle.

        No.

        I acknowledge I’m a selfish asshole with ads, but also that some ads and ad platforms are abusive and virus ridden.

        I know that platforms like Facebook and YouTube couldn’t exist without Ads, but I choose to block them anyway.
