Sure I also use an adblocker everywhere but you should be aware that you are harming creators and not just the big companies.

I use an adblocker and sponsorblock on YouTube. I also pay for Nebula and various Patreon subscriptions/KoFi donations. In the end, I'm confident creators got more out of me than many regular users, and I'm not giving money to Google all the while.

Depends on if you donate to all the creators to watch or just a few.
