If the creators you like choose to monetize with sponsors, you can choose not to watch them instead of complaining about it on a forum. Or go create the content you like yourself.
I don't like ads either and have stopped watching several channels because of how they use them.
"Every time the same argument" is right - "my time is valuable but the creator's time is not!"
Go for it! I'm not holding that against anyone. I'm railing against the entitlement of saying it's "not respectful of the viewer's time" to have sponsored segments.
Like I said elsewhere, I think that stance is ironic because it's not respecting the creator's time and effort. "I want you to spend hours and hours making videos for me but I don't want you to make money from it"
