I demand control over my computing on my hardware. After I casually request media do not feel entitled to run anti-features without my permission.
I do think that hard effort to create works should be rewarded but I do believe ads have a cost - and it's too damn high.
How do you reward the work you encounter online?
I buy merchandise from video creators, do non-annual donations (1 is annual) and assume commission for affiliate links can happen in the background when I buy stuff.
This is largely big players (e.g. my OS creator), so I admit not people just starting off who likely need it most.
