uBlock Origin: Address first-party tracker blocking

You mean like cable TV, where you paid for premium, commercial free content for years until they realized that they could charge you AND put ads in? Or Twitch Prime? Or any of the dozen other paid services that have done this..

Twitch prime doesn't affect the content at all anymore. It gets you a monthly channel subscription and a bunch of video games. Also I'd guess that the vast majority of people with twitch prime didn't go out and buy it either, Amazon just gave it to them.

The thing you can buy a la carte is twitch turbo, and that still removes all ads.

No. I mean like what the parent said where paying for premium access removes all ads. If all ads aren't removed, that's a different scenario.

I paid extra for Hulu without Ads, at one point. I am was very annoyed when I discovered there was STILL ADS on some content!
