I think Blacken has somewhat of a point, even though the delivery of it sucked.
ABP, what I use for, as he says, "the general web" unfortunately spills into the youtube. I probably wasn't clear, but I didn't even realize youtube was slipping in ads until I was on another computer (though, I didn't really think much about it either way). I've used ABP since ... forever it seems.
I'd definitely like to give revenue to "content creators", especially when google is pretty good about letting you skip the ad in 5 seconds. That's reasonable. But is it possible, to use ABP and let a specific site - say, youtube - display it's ads? [The answer is yes]
Maybe that's where youtube needs to change the delivery of it's ads. I don't think people are adverse to ads, it's just the web has taken it too far, since right around the time someone discovered how to pop-up ads. For example, I have no problem with what tinypic does. I go to upload a pic, it has me type in a message while an ad is playing, and I only listen to the commercial as long as it takes me to type. In that time, if I'm truly interested, I will watch further. Then, after a couple of times, if it's going to be the same ad, don't have me do it every time (I don't think tinypic forces you for each upload). Of course, I haven't paid attention, but there's probably some utility blocking those tinypic ads as well. But I know ABP doesn't.
