I never remove it whatsoever. Ads cannot be trusted (they can and do sometimes contain malware), and most sites do not vet the ads that they run.

I pay for YouTube Premium and I don't regret it a bit.

Literally any other site, though? I click "No Thanks" and keep going. If it's a site that won't let me access it without turning off adblock, I just leave and go to the next search result.

I don't. But I do think continuously selling all of our data more than covers that cost. So either they stop selling my data as if I'm the product or they stop showing me near constant ads.

Almost every time I'm saying 'next time' to skip it, or if they refuse to allow, I'll just find another site to load it.

The fact that it extends to my phone and my PS4 is more than enough to make it worth it. Then the ad-free YouTube Music on top of that means I don't have to spend extra money for Spotify Premium, either.

It's a pretty worthwhile service given how like 70% of my video consumption is through YouTube in any given month. More than Netflix, HBO, etc. combined for a similar price.

Same. Youtube probably realized paying people to constantly thwart adblockers was a losing battle since they'll just keep updating. The war is over for now.

Do they let me continue without disabling? If I like the site, I'll disable it.

If they don't, I just leave the site and don't return.

For most sites, if they ask me but give the option not to, I'll deactivate adblock for the site. If they don't give me the choice, I just leave.

I post on one forum that gives you the disable message every time you click on a thread. I disabled for that one because I get useful information from it. But just to read an article or something, lol no those sites can fuck off.

Oh darn, I feel so bad for youtube profiting off of millions of hours of content they didn't create.

Google made over 300 billion fucking dollars last year.

If it gives me the option to say 'no' and keep browsing, I'll do that. If there's no option to refuse, I close the tab and find a different site.
