      Ads are a security risk

      True

      and blocking them doesn’t hurt content creators.

      False. Using adblockers does directly impact creators’ CPM, which is the number used to determine how much they are paid.

      It is good to use ad blockers on the general web for safety. But if there are creators you enjoy, it’s good to consider either supporting them directly or whitelisting them if you don’t have the financial means to do direct payments.

      It’s not a black or white situation like you are framing it.
