For the person that said Youtubers are ok with it and specifically mentioned Boogie as one of the guys that's not "after the money"
Found this on Neogaf in the thread about this topic:

If you use adblock and not viewing ads when you consume content then you are directly denying income for those who are creating the content you are about to consume.
It takes time, effort, equipment, and money to product it. It costs you nothing either way.
But here's the thing. When you sit through an ad you are participating in one of the best deals in the century.
You get free content.
The person creating it gets paid.
It costs money for a MULTIBILLION dollar company to produce, and show that ad. That money goes into the hands of the person who created the content you consumed.
You literally get to be robin hood. You literally get to steal from the rich and give to the poor.
If you're choosing not to do that, I agree with pach; you are a pretty rude person.
Now that said, I still enjoy you watching my content either way. I'm making X amount of dollars and lets say 60% of my users use adblock so I could be making 60% more income. That would be certainly great.
I'm very happy though to be making X. I really hope it doesnt lessen, and I really won't be butthurt if it doesnt increase.
But if you choose to not be Robin Hood in exchange for sitting through a 30 second advertisement then you're a bit self centered for sure.
Just saying.

I would certainly feel better if I would not have to watch the 30 second video before the actual video but instead get a 5 second "this video is presented to you by GAME X" or whatever.... in the video.
5 Seconds is okay and not annoying but wanting me to SKIP after 5 seconds is annoying again because It requires action.
He could let some small mini commercials show up in a corner for a few seconds like the ones when watching a TV show that are ads for other TV shows e.g "blah blah new season starting 1 June 2014 @ 8 p.m.)etc.
Make it 3 second ads.
1st second GAME TITLE.
2nd second SAY WHAT IT IS e.g NEW RPG by company X
3rd second RELEASE DATE
Other acceptable ways would be to get his wall decorated with posters of recently released games send to him by the publishers. He could also consume stuff like FountainPoo on his videos etc.
This way he gets payed a AND no most viewers are not annoyed. And everyone could be happy xD
But NOPE it seems way to bothersome for him so his arbitrary 30 second ads are way to bothersome for me too.
Again viewers want a compromise "content creators" do not. Their fault.
