Watching ads pays for nothing, buying stuff where the price includes a fraction of the ad budget of the company pays. Even when I am blocking ads, I still buy stuff, I still contribute to ad budgets, my money still gets spend on some ad campaign and ends up in the hands of some creator or whatever. At worst I will somewhat skew the way the money gets distribute by blocking ads, but that is something I am willing to accept in order to not get distracted, annoyed and tracked.
If possible, I would happily pay a reasonable amount every month to get rid of all ads everywhere even though I would essentially be paying twice, ones with the monthly payment and I would still pay for part of the ad budget with everything I buy. But this is currently not possible anyway and getting individual subscription everywhere - if even possible - will cost you an unreasonable amount and make deal with countless subscriptions unless you are a person only using a hand full of different sites.
