I do agree it is not a dilemma to everyone. Still many believe that blocking ads harms creators supported by them. It is true for google adsense based platforms like youtube (youtube premium requires account, hence privacy implication).
Instead any content anyone watches can be rewatched with ads enabled.
In case a platform trust not logged in views less (as it might be on youtube, I am not sure) the privacy risk can be mitigated by having a -big enough) network of logged in account to ‘view’ the contents ad enabled.
What do you think?
Ad supported videos act as a demo. Those who can tolerate ads, can stay in the demo stage. If you have tried the videos, found them valuable, and can’t tolerate the ads, I suggest paying for the video in the future.
There’s value in having both systems in place. If you have only one, it’s going to limit your options and hurt everyone involved.
