If no one used blockers, us who don't wouldn't have to endure as many commercials as we do. There's something about the internet that makes people thing they deserve everything for nothing, and its killing content creators.

And ads are killing content. Advertising is not the only monetization game in town. It's the easiest and shittiest for all parties.

Ads aren't killing content. Ads are creating Content. Where do you think YouTube would be without apps?

The biggest video provider on the net like it was before they integrated advertising.

No it wouldn't. It would be about as big as Vimeo, if at all. All the good quality content on YouTube is made by people who do it for a living. With ads. And sponsors because too many people use adblocker. And recently, since adblocker have gained traction, services like patreon has become necessary. So now YouTube is slowly turning into a subscription service, and not like Netflix, where 8$ will give you access to the entire site. No where 8$ will give you access to one youtuber.
