Let me simplify this for you: If I’m getting an addon to stop seeing ads, I’m not going to choose an addon that replaces them with other ads. I will choose the addon that doesn’t give me ads.

No. I want to watch the thing I specifically decided to watch, and not what someone else wants to advertise to me.
