It just seems like overkill to me tbh. The content creators I watch need sponsors to get by, so I'll take a peek at what they're offering in good faith. If I don't like it I just skip to the end of the bit, or leave the video since a few put them at the end. You're not messing with corporate profits or anything.
Ok, but you can set it up to not auto skip. You could just get a button to skip to the end of the promotion - I think that's the default even
But I've literally only looked into a product sponsored by a creator once, and once I saw the price tag I clicked off. And that was after I installed sponsor block
