This is actually great.
I've always been a bit torn on ad blockers.
  1. Personally I don't have a problem paying for YouTube premium but I understand it's not for everyone.
  2. I think YouTubers deserve to get paid.
  3. I also think businesses should be able to advertise their products.
  4. But at the same time, I hate being forced to watch ads for crap I'm not interested in.
  5. I also support the entrepreneur solving these pains points for people
So it's a really interesting solution. Speeding up the ads removes the most annoying side of advertising without completely destroying the business model.
Here's an interesting thought experiment...
Would you be in favour of a value for value pay with sats model for YouTube?
