or don't use adblocker and be careful to not click on ads or links that you don't know where they will take you.

Or, just use adblocker and not worry about it.

Ads existed before adblock, not vice versa lol. Explain how use of adblock makes ppl to create malicious ads please, im all ears.

I see you point, but it goes both ways.

Ads like these did exist before adblock, and did lead to the creation of it.

But as more and more people use adblock, ads have had to become more forceful to increase their chances of being effective.

either that or content will end up moving to a subscriber based model, where you have to pay for a youtube account to watch the videos.  The more we avoid paying for stuff the harder they will make it to get free stuff. Basically If the ads don't work they'll find another way to pay for the content.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.
