You're still knowingly accessing something that someone paid to create and you're gaining a benefit from that in entertainment.

And how do you feel about adblockers? By using one you're depriving sites of the ad revenue they'd gain off of you reading their article or watching their video, etc. Do you use one or are you raw dogging the internet so that the content servers can harvest your data which they sell to serve you targeted ads?
