Because the payment method is a scam. Imagine if all car owners were charged the same price for fuel regardless of how much they used.

Likewise, imagine watching 10 videos and being charged the same as someone who watches 200 videos.

We should pay for what we watch. The end. Ad blocking is not piracy when the payment option is at best a blunt extraction of funds from my wallet, at worst a sleazy shakedown.
