Can we please stop suggesting apps and extensions to circumvent these ads?

They offer a paid service, exactly what people on HN wanted. You are stealing from creators here.

Most creators make peanuts from these ads that Google insert everywhere. The real value is in sponsorships that I actually watch because it's part of the content.

I don't feel the need to pay 10$/month to watch LinusTechTips which is itself 20 minutes long advertisements for PC parts, sponsored by their respective manufacturers.

This whole thread is about google making $40B. They don't need your money. Keep it and give it to somebody who does.
