I wonder, why people suddenly forgot that adblockers are a thing?

Or because they're watching from the YT app?
Yeah, this is the reason for me.
Because they like the channels they watch and want them to get ad revenue?
Do you mean all those channels that have been demonetized and have Patreon accounts?

And if this really is the case then stop complaining about it.

Everyone is well within their rights to want to support creators by tolerating some ads, while simultaneously complaining about ads they do not tolerate.
Not tolerating ads == using adblocker.

And can we please stop turning every discussion, no matter how trivial, into a discussion about rights? Did I say anything that would suggest that I want to take any rights from someone?

regarding watching ads on channels to support them, I'm using an extension called `YouTube Channel Whitelist for uBlock Origin`, which allow to whitelist specific YT channels but also block advertisers.
You can get Premium! Fuck ads, but revenue stays.
