    So if I use Firefox I have a choice between a 5sec delay or a 5sec delay and ads. That seems like an easy choice.

      I would assume the ad gives the creator some revenue while the delay doesn’t

        Whatever. Don’t give for free and claim after you need to get paid. That’s no business model, that’s something that currently works, a fad. And morally questionable at that.
