I disagree. Take Youtube as an example. A ton of mental overhead: videos padded for time, clickbait titles and thumbnails, in video promotions, reminder to check their patreon, reminder to like and subscribe, interruptions for Google ads, etc, . All this adds up and makes you question if the time waste was worth the chance at maybe getting to view some decent content. A system where you are throwing a penny at somebody to unlock a video is preferable.

Not if you use SponsorBlock. Been using it for months, it greatly improves the youtube experience.

And greatly removes the way these creators can actually pay for their lifestyle of creating. Good job!

Well some of us must create the evolutionary pressure for these systems so that we can converge on a system that is not a waste of time for the consumer AND profitable for the creator. It is what it is.
