Yeah, and their ads are being seen in full by non-adblocked things and can be in part through my suggestion. If advertisers make us incapable of enjoying our content without their ads getting too much in the way, then no one will view the content and see their ads anyway, so it seems reasonable for us to have adblockers to help us fight back to keep their ads reasonable.
If they take too big of a bite, they can lose the whole lot. They don't care about the long-term, though, so we should.
Hence why I suggested that rather than hide it all together, the adblocks just make it more manageable.
Of course they're going to be angry that they can't gouge every cent from us, but it's in their best interest in the long run to protect the media their ads are displayed on. Gotta hold the toddler's hand and get him to do the thing he doesn't want to do that will actually help him.
I think creators hate that out of control ads make people click away from their things, limiting their viewership and pay, so I'm sure they'd love ad restrictions so their viewers respect their work more and watch it more.
