Yeah I mean who likes them? But if I like the content on a site, I'll watch them. Who knows, maybe I will see something I want to buy.

reddit is the only site that i have white listed because the ads on it aren't obtrusive. If i have to watch a 30 second ad for a 15 second video, i personally find it annoying and obtrusive. I'll gladly donate to reddit via other means to show my support.
Reddit gold opts you out of all ads, not that there are any ads on videos now.
What moral objection are you planning to use to avoid paying for Reddit Gold?
Who said i'm avoiding it? When reddit starts to roll out video ads, i'll buy reddit gold and use ad-blocker at the same time.
I just start blacklisting sites with those tbh. Just refuse to use them altogether. No content is worth the annoyance.
