why isn't there an option for "soft adblock" for subscribed yt channels?
When you block ads on YouTube, the ads are deleted. This has the problem of not giving creators money, forcing you to actually spend $10/mo or whatever the average Patreon subscription is. What if there was an option for an ad to play in the background while a black rectangle covers the screen while temporarily muting the browser tab? (Since the ad still plays in the background, the creator still gets money, allowing you to be a freeloader) edit: peertube has no ads

Have you perhaps considered blocking the screen with a big piece of cardboard? No coding required.
Maybe just close your eyes, stick your fingers in your ears, and shouting 'lalalalala' for a minute or so? No cardboard required.
Instructions unclear, fingers stuck in eyes.
I use an app on Windows called ontopreplica. The original purpose of it is to draw another window on top of other windows but I legit use it to block random stuff I don't want to see.
