Yep. I guess the duration wasted on the ads is probably much longer than that delay. I can live with a small wait in exchange for keeping my sanity.

Honestly, I can wait longer than the Ads run for to not have them shoved down my throat.

My mother wonders why I have such a vendetta against advertisements. She got an ad on a YouTube video convincing her with a onslaught of fake pop-ups she had to update her PDF reader. Lord knows what would have happened if she had clicked it. If the only way to receive your product is to watch an ad, I'm going somewhere else full atop.

That is the major problem with ads. Being Obnoxious is one thing, but a noticable amount of ads are either phishing, or even outright malware. To protect against those is the most important job of an adblocker. It is an important tool of defense.

Honestly, I can wait for longer than the Ads would take, to not have them shoved down my throat.
