Do you let the ads play in full, or do you press skip as sin as you can?
Guess what, pressing skip means the advertiser isn’t charged and the content creator isn’t paid. Far more people press skip than get ad blockers. You should be criticising me for pressing skip, surely! Ad skippers hurt content creators far more!
And IT IS NOT THEFT! None of it is stealing. The outright LIE is that skipping or blocking ads is theft.
I actually don’t use an ad blocker, I just skip the ads, and I skip them guilt free, because the majority of content creators aren’t in Google’s more lucrative partner programs, so Google keeps most of the money, and if their content doesn’t qualify for monetisation, Google keeps all of the money from ads on their content.
But I put an ad blocker on my elderly relative’s computer because those ads that you keep defending kept tricking her into installing malware, and it’s not even slightly illegal and it’s not even slightly morally questionable.
And you want to make other people feel guilty for skipping ads because it’s easy for them to get your experience without paying uber-wealthy corporations, so you try to make out that they stole something? Get off your high horse. Your giving would be far more beneficial if it went to a charity instead of Google.
Has put occurred to you that young impressionable minds are hurt by you lying on the Internet that skipping ads is theft or that it hurts people?
Well, it’s the truth. Ad-funded businesses (most creators) guess what, are hurt by blocking ads.

I don’t see ads because I pay premium.
