Yes, but surely since the money for creators comes from advertisers who will pay for ads watched, not skipped I assume, it might all work out the same? Like you I hate to watch ads now. I have a box for live TV which allows a 30 minute pause, so when I want to watch something "live" I tend to start it, pause, and then come back later so I can skip past the ads. Perhaps people will try something like that?
