Good point. Though if the ads on the site are very intrusive, they don't deserve any money.

That's not the right approach. Ask yourself if content they provide is worth the money they ask. And for YT I would say it is. Unless you want to go with Nebula.

There are multiple factors to consider when choosing to block or not block ads. It would take me a whole essay to list them all. Yours is also one of them.

Maybe the ads became intrusive because the site is desperate for money, and they became desperate for money because too many people were using AdBlock to begin with so their revenue dropped. If a site has to pick between shutting down vs intrusive ads, they will pick intrusive ads.

And maybe too many people were using Adblock because their ad system is crap to begin with.
