I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

    Yes I use graphine OS on a Google pixel and have nearly all FOSS apps. The few apps I can’t get FOSS I cut off network access to. (Alwsome graphine OS feature)

    On my home computer I use uBlock, sponserblock, and I have a piehole running.

    My ethics on this mimic that of modern multiplayer games. Games make a much larger amount of money praying those willing to dump hundreds into cosmetic items so now the game is free for me. Eg. leage, overwatch, apex, halo etc. . .

    I see other distributed content in this same way. If someone love a content creator so much that they will drop money on merch, or patron good for them. They make up the majority of the money the content creator makes anyway so I don’t really lose sleep over it.

      You’re like me lol. Graphene, ublock, I use libretube and newpipe x sponsorblock, I use adguard home. I would also recommend the libredirector extension to redirect to youtube piped or something.
