I don't use sponcerblock, but I do download all youtube videos before watching them and I manually fast forward past the ads. I'm sure that doesn't help them either. As others have stated there's no obligation to give youtubers your time/attention/money/engagement, but when you've found a channel you enjoy it's natural to want to help them continue to put out good content. Ultimately though my options for supporting youtubers are limited, because I'm not signing into youtube so I can't even comment/like/subscribe/ring bells or whatever else most people do. I have in the past donated to youtubers directly. Mostly though I support them by spreading the word and watching their videos. Maybe one of the people I show the channel to will comment and hit the like button and buy a billion nord VPN subscriptions.
