I mean I would prefer cleaner websites. But the money has to come from somewhere and I personally think that it's a pretty sweet ride that instead of paying I just have to be subjected to some ads.
I generally would agree with you but I still block ads.
For several reasons, for example many ads are for cars or other things I can't afford or wouldn't buy anyway (like women hair products). Which makes these ads pointless and even if you can skip them they still waste your time and bandwidth (and the companies waste their money on you).
Ads steal bandwidth, pop-ups are a no-go and if you get really lucky ads can give you a virus. And simply ads sometimes mess up websites (for example if the whole background is an ad).
Facebook ads deserve to be blocked without any further explanation.
I have a subscription for the magazine of the main gaming website I visit, so no need to pay them twice.
And btw I don't have an adblocker on my smartphone so they still get "some" ad money from me. Also there are ads everywhere else too (TV, newspapers, in the streets, in your post box, in your email inbox, etc.).
Very few youtubers truly deserve getting a "tip" for their work. I try to compensate that by sharing their channels.
