Everyone's just abandoning Adblock Plus now, because you might start seeing ads? Seriously.. when are you going to contribute to sites for their content then? You're viewing things for nothing at a likely high rate of consumption, and they get nothing besides a view which is nice.. but what about the time and effort put into it?
"Oh hey your content is okay, this needs to be improved but.. none of us will help you out. Just find how to make it better!"
It's simply taking the content as what it is. Free. Just not even trying to be helpful, for the service they provided and it's starting to get very irritating. So you expect everyone to suddenly pick up a Patreon page, or some other sort of crowdfunding means to keep their content going? Who's going to pay the bills at the end of the day?
I go through and personally lock down extremely obnoxious ads from showing, just saying you won't tolerate some sort of ads is pretty ridiculous. You might as well take NoScript and block everything that serves ads, so you have at least some personal control at this rate.
How many really truly make the effort to whitelist a site / channel / etc, so they can get a small bit of ad revenue from your views? I pitch in a bit through various means to support those I watch, because not everyone can make a great living from the paltry ad revenue not covering much these days.
