I have actually tried, yes. And I'm telling you it works like I've told you, Youtubers get paid for monetized views and views are only monetized if there is an ad playing at the beginning, if you use adblock there'll never be ads and thus your clicks will never make the Youtubers money. The only way Youtubers can get paid just by views is if they advertise in the video itself.

Some artists use patron. It's not because our internet is now infested with ad being one of the only sources of revenue that it really is the only source of revenue.

As for naive, I'm not sure it's a question of naivety, only of limited horizons.

So the solution in your opinion is just letting other people pay money so you don't have to watch ads... that is so much better, damn these content creators for maybe not wanting to ask for money from a certain part of their audience so the rest can enjoy their stuff unobstructed and for free.
