I use ad block plus but disable it on LTT and some twitch streams. Just don't have the money to support them directly. 

 

Anyway, as of now, I have blocked 69,507 ads. That seems like a sh*t ton. I do browse YouTube for the majority of the day as well.

 

EDIT: Wow, I thought I blocked a lot of ads.

Lol, I did one of those Facebook quizzes and it was a "How bitchy are you?" and I got 69. 

 

It's a sign.

I agree with you, but YouTube is the biggest problem. Every video is an ad and "Ain't nobody got time fo dat!"

The thing is, no one likes looking at ads, but we go through them to support content providers.

 

I used adblock two years ago when I didn't like supporting content creators, but I LIKE supporting content creators now. (so I've stopped using it)

None from Linus' channel or the forum, when I open a video from any channel that I like I turn adblock off and reload the video.

I just hate trying to watch some really short video and getting a 2 min ad.

i beleive that everytime a add is shown you make 5 cents. or maybe its 5 dollars per 1000 views (wait that the same)

 

so thats 4480 dollars...... but not really because on youtube, it keeps repinging new adds in the same spot, so after only one video it says it has blocked like 9 adds...

It's 5 cents per click and like 0.5-1 cent for just the ad loading on the page ie: not blocked.

I try not to use AdBlock so I can support the services I use. Some of the websites that split an article into 10 pages are fucking annoying though. In those cases, I disable them right away. 

Those websites are poorly designed with Ads covering the whole screen yet offering shit content. I still read them anyways.  :(

You must visit a lot of sketchy porn Websites.
