I get where you're coming from but consider this: using an adblocker like ublock isn't only about digital privacy. Many people, myself included, dislike being advertised to in general.

Especially in the real world I think ads are a blight, and so do the Swiss [1].

I do use sponsor block myself, though I have it disabled on certain channels because they actually show decent sponsors, like things that their audience might actually be interested in and they're not complete lies. But there is absolutely no positive impact on my life from seeing the 624th ad for a VPN to "protect myself online".
