You’re also stealing from the content creators who rev share with Google. No one seems to mention that a majority of the ad revenue Google gives to content creators. If you makes you feel better, you can keep thinking it’s Google.
No one is stealing a damn thing. We're not obligated to watch ads. Our attention is not currency to pay for services with. If anyone's stealing anything, it's them. As far as I'm concerned uBlock Origin is legitimate self-defense against their ceaseless attempts to grab my attention without my consent.
They send people videos for free. They do so hoping you'll watch the ads. At exactly no point does this ever turn into an obligation to "pay" by watching the ads. They only have themselves to blame if their business model isn't working out.
