Probably the only ad ever to hit exactly and only the correct target demographic.

Doubtful. If you still have ads in 2026 you never valued your own time, software, or consent anyways.

Or maybe you like supporting creators and in general pay people for their goods and services.

I'll just buy their products or use affiliate links or whatever. I'm not paying with my privacy or security for anyone.

That's also a possibility, for sure. But it's a tiny minority of people who do that.

I support creators I like, ad revenue goes mostly to corpo and not them so I block ads, simple

Depending on the site, TikTok takes like 80% while YouTube take less than 50%.

I know, that's why I donate or buy merch/products from creators I like.

They get more money from that than they would ever get from ad revenue, and I get a less annoying experience of what ever platform I'm using (plus minimize profit corpos make on me, that's always good).

If what ever corpo media wanted me to allow it easier profit, if sure better grow feet and give me a happy ending, otherwise it's not gonna happen.
