Supporting creators with an adblocker : Is It Possible?

Plop !

I've been wondering about this for a while. I want to support the creators I watch on YouTube and Twitch, but I don’t want to be flooded with ads. I use blockers like uBlock Origin on YouTube and TTV LOL PRO on Twitch, and I’m wondering:

Do creators still get paid when we watch their videos/streams with an ad blocker enabled?

  • If yes, great.
  • If not, is there a way to make sure they still get compensated, even if the ad doesn’t display on my end?

I know there are other ways to support creators, and I already use them: Patreon, subscriptions, merch, etc.

Ideally, I’d like to be counted as someone who has "seen" the ad, even if I technically haven’t. Is this possible from a technical standpoint? Actually, this solution would have a double advantage:

  • Taking money from big platforms and redirecting it to creators
  • Avoiding the brainwashing effect of excessive advertising

I hope I made myself clear, it's really about having thebest of both world.

Looking forward to your thoughts.
