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?
Silly me, I meant to type 2001. Obviously, there was a strong streaming market in 2021 to let me pay for content.
