Do you use adblock?

[Samdb]

Yes, with a tonne of white listed sites.

[Seldszar]

I use it and I take it off for Linus and other people. Realy its been a while since I used it on twitch. I use it all the time for anything else.

[CDLT]

I used to have it on for everything because the ads annoyed me. Now I have filters for twitch and youtube because hey its free content and 10-15 seconds isn't too bad. Feels good supporting certain people

[ConfusedDolphin]

no adds dont bother me that much, especially on youtube.

[mr-nipples]

I watch quite a lot of videos on my phone, I've heard that the phone ads don't create revenue for the channel

[XzzDSA]

I do use it. 

I have setup custom filters for youtube and twitch though to allow ads through.. Mostly adblocker is for those websites that litterally, is nothing BUT adds....

[Chevaishr]

the amount of adblock users is too damn high !!!! (support all the free stuff) 

[Camul]

I remember a similar thread not too long ago. Anyway, yes I use it, but I do make a lot of exceptions. I usually unblock all websites that I frequently use, except for websites that are really intrusive with their ads, like PC gamer.

[JaeDee884]

I use it at work but at home i don't.

I use it especially for YouTube (sorry Linus). Whenever I go on YouTube on someone else's PC, there's a lot of irrelevant stuff on the page and I like to keep it as clean as possible, so no ads for me.

There must be a way around this because I would go out of my way to support content creators but I will not personally watch ads. I get hit with advertisements nearly 24/7 so it just ain't happening. If I could use adblock to watch all of my youtube content, and after I've watched everything ad free, run a script that opens up the content I "like" in a different browser (mutes it) and lets the ads play through (to the skip point) and then plays the next one. I would have no problem running that script to help out the creators.

 

How hard can it be? :P

 

First script is autorun and it logs the URL addresses of videos where the "like" button is pressed. Second script is manually run, it opens up logged url addresses in a browser of our choice, mutes the browser and closes it after 30 seconds. Then it deletes the URL address from the log file. Any major flaws? Probably but I can't see this being very hard to do anyway.

 

So who wants to make a script? I'd do it only I don't know how   :(. Maybe we could make it a forum project or something. Show people step by step how it was made. It could help the content creators and the users (who can't code)   .
