when i was more actively watching youtube, i used sponsorblock, because many sponsor segments in videos are the same way - it doesn't matter that the delivery is from the individual creator and not the platform. it, again in a literal sense, pains me to watch.

i do not use music streaming services, in part because i want to have control over my music library, and because of other ethical concerns around actually paying artists, but also because they are supported by ads and insert those into the audio stream

ultimately, if i cannot filter out ads from a thing i want to use or experience, then i simply will not use the thing; and a world where everything is ad supported is a world that i will not be able to exist in
