The creators that are decently big (100k+) make enough money whether or not you ad-block. Don't worry about it.

They make enough money precisely because not everyone ad blocks. This seems like a fallacious argument.
A lot of big creators take sponsorship deals and have in-video ads. I know most of the ones I watch do, and I actually don't even mind them. They're personalized to the content creator's content, and are usually as entertaining as the video's contents because of it.
GP is talking about Patreon and sponsorships. A lot of videos get demonitized too, so some creators stand to see no money from ads in some videos.
