I agree that the system is getting a bit out of control. But take Spotify for example, most of the users are using the free tier which is one of the reasons what Spotify, which has really minimalistic ads, simply can’t make enough profit to cover the costs. Sites which throw countless ads at you are terrible indeed but there could be a place between removing all the ads and sites which have pop-up full-screen ads every 2 minutes.

That is great! But can I ask how much do you donate? I feel that if I try to donate to all the creators that I use the tools they develop or consume the content they create, this expense will bypass my rent (unless I will give everyone a really, really small donation).

Thanks! Just curious, is AdBlock intentionally programmed to block only such advertisements? Or is it just a slightly “worse” ad blocker?

But if YouTube doesn’t earn enough how will they be able to maintain the site? Agree that they can earn a little less but for some reason it doesn’t work that way (I’m not aware of a service of such scale which keep profit at minimum) 🤷

Oh actually I haven’t. Somehow I didn’t see this model pop-up. Do you recommend?

Thanks! Just a little question: will it indeed fit into a backpack? :)
