> Can you really not conceive of some content sufficiently valuable to make it worth you consuming those ads?
Honestly, no.
Perhaps I am just lacking imagination; can you think of any content compelling enough that a) I am not prepared to pay to get it and b) I am still prepared to view ads to get it?
I can't imagine any type of content that I both don't want to pay for and feel it is worth sitting through the ads.
I expect the ratios matter as well; the average webpage/site has more ads than content that I specifically want. If I had to sit through a 10s ad to see a 90m movie, I might do it. As it stands, right now on youtube, there is a 30s-60s ad shown between 5-minute videos.
So, when I am not using Firefox, I simply don't go to youtube.
I don't know how much you can afford to pay. But I do know many users can afford to consume ads more than pay money.
