    Honestly I just wish they’d give us the option to subscribe to an ad-free experience now. I’d even make an exception in uBlock for Google ads if they’d apply “ad-free” to other sites and let me buy that experience while still supporting the content makers I support.

    I go through a lot of effort to prevent myself from seeing ads online. That overall effort (not just for Google, but for my entire web experience) is probably worth $50-100 per month of my time, and I’d gladly pay that if it meant I didn’t have to put in the effort. I’ve been slowly unsubscribing from streaming services because of their ads policies…
