MODERATORS
By default I have AdBlock (uBlock origin) on, but I generally turn it off for YouTube and Twitch to support content creators (except when the creator is unmonetized, then I leave it on).
I very occasionally turn it off if I want to support the company a little (ex. Firefox Homepage, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia), but this is very rare.
And I also turn it off for a some websites that are free of corporate BS and have interesting content. Funny enough, most of these websites happen to not have any ads or trackers in the first place.
And then there's me with ublock origin and sponsor block always on.
I was raised to hate ads, it worked. I'd rather support via patreon
