A paywall is a way to signal that you require payment. Some people do that with Patreon and unlisted YouTube videos. There's no arguments to force unwilling viewers to watch ads. The kind of people that install this extension are also presumably the kind of people that never follow ads, so allowing them to skip those ad segments doesnt result in a loss for advertisers. That they end up watching ads too is a simple effect of the ad market's inefficiencies. The number of convertions from sponsored segments shouldn't move much from this extension, so the payout for video creators should also remain constant. Its a win/neutral situation for everyone.
