While I'm a full-on ad-blocker user and will almost never disable an ad-blocker to use or support any website, I also think it's fine if a service wants to block my access for using one.

I pay for YT Premium because right now it's worth it- it and Twitch (I use Turbo) are both essentially my only video entertainment (instead of paying far more for cable or something- I don't watch regular TV shows or movies anyway).

I would rather a service cease to exist, require a subscription, than view ads. My attention is not for sale to the lowest bidder.

Yes, I understand that some of what survives on the web today is because it has been ad supported- and that it's one way we have democratized / made content available to the masses, including those that can't afford to pay- I just think we'd find another way if ads went away and it's sad that advertising ever was allowed to have the foothold it has today and become the industry it is. Its very existence is repugnant.
