Nobody cares if you don’t give advertisers your time, the problem is when you both do that and consume whatever the ads are supposed to be funding.
Just don’t use YouTube if you don’t want to pay or see ads. It is not complicated.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agojust don't drive on the highway if you don't want to see ads! and yet, many places have actually banned them, with good reason. Think of ad blockers as banning ads.

- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agoads don't fund the purchase of my device or the internet I pay for.
- wilsonnb3 3y agoYes, rather obviously they fund the servers hosting and sending you the content you want
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agomy neighbor also funds their own vehicles, yet I see no one claiming I'm morally obligated to look at it, acknowledge it, or spend any time on it whatsoever. The fact that they're spending money on resources is on them and has nothing to do with me. Them spending money on servers does not obviate or override my ownership of devices I paid for.
- hightrix 3y agoTo YouTube, just don’t give away content for free if you don’t want people to consume it for free. As long as the content is 100% free, users like me will continue to take it for free while blocking any content we don’t want to see aka ads. It is quite simple.
