Cornelius:
More like This persoon makes a lot of money on the backs of the people who actually make what I come to see.

Tova:
You know that the creator also loses revenue when you skip or block ads, right?

Cornelius:
Just rephrasing what I thought was the gist of the argument above.

We could discuss the merit of leaving it on or not for creators, but don't forget there's also a lot of content that's not original on there. Consuming which, adblock or not, takes away revenue from the creator in the first place.

Now of course, in some cases, it's also material that's not available anywhere else anymore. But using that argument to condone it, though tempting, is not that easy. Sometimes content is not available any more exactly because there's a dispute about just recompense in the first place.

I don't think you could have made a worse straw man argument if you tried.

That's true. But that's (a per a quick Googling) about half a cent per video watched (at most). I absolutely think it's a great idea to compensate them (as I said, I support a lot of people on Patreon via small sums), but even if you give them, like, a dollar once, you're probably giving them more than by months and months of watching their content with ads.
