Knowing Microslop, I'm not too worried. They'll either scrap the idea before implementing it or make it so shitty people won't use it. Let them try for the shits n giggles.
Consider that there are instances where it's not practical to remove ads. I could get a new podcasts app with Sponsorblock integrated, but I already have the app I like all set up and I'm fine with skipping them manually. Some may filter through but so what.
Same with YT videos with Sponsorblock where you're early and you're the one doing people the favor. You have to listen at least part of the ad to mark the time block.
Or sometimes Twitch breaks uBO and you don't realize until you're served an ad and you have to wait for the devs to fix it. There's no simple way of getting around it if you enjoy certain streamers.
It's not that we don't try, but not everyone is capable or interested in insulating their entertainment. There are many factors at play.
The cat is also going to be worth more and give you more in the long run. 😻
