Normal people like me will never subscribe to youtube premium, why do we spend money on Youtube premium only to avoid gambling ads ?
By the way, even if you somehow do not see the gambling ads, there may be other ads that will be shown to you by youtube. So in any case, unless you have paid and opted for the youtube premium, you will have to watch the youtube ads.
Anyways if the gambling sites are paying youtube to display their ads, we have to cope with it because this is another form of marketing by the casino's.
Only people who have a lot of money use youtube premium let alone just don't want to see gambling ads, one very bad way is to use extensions on the browser to block ads on youtube, even though using brave browser is safer than ads on youtube even though it doesn't really respect creator content but to be honest gambling ads are very annoying if displayed there because it will confuse people who have stopped gambling and then want to gamble again.
One of them is using another browser to prevent and block ads if you really want to feel safe using YouTube, so far brave browser offers to block ads so I feel comfortable there even though brave browser is also annoying because now it displays annoying ads on the main screen too but at least it's not a gambling ad. but if you are a gambler for me you will not mind gambling ads.
Its an angle that puts the value of money against the value of ad-free content consumption. As for ad-blocking extensions, I second your opinion that they dont fully support content creators' revenue streams. However, it's worth considering that they offer a semblance of control over content that isn't possible otherwise. While the Brave browser is an effective tool to block ads, it is not free from faults, as you have rightly pointed out. The line becomes even more blurred with the influx of disruptive ads on the main screen.
Your point on gamblers tolerating gambling ads could be a controversial one. It might imply that the nature of the ads we tolerate is a reflection of our personal interests or inclinations.
