I'm currently helping subsidize some content creators via Patreon, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of content I consume.

I wish one of those "pay $X/month into a bucket, distribute that bucket among all the content you consume proportionally" schemes would actually take off and work.

Call my selfish (I probably am, but I think it's representative of the market), but I'd rather just block ads and consume the content for free.

From a game-theoretical perspective, it's the only smart move for me. This is why ad-blockers aren't going away any time soon.
