You can skip YouTube Ad in 5 seconds
Would you pay $1 to skip 1.000 & save 83 min / 1h23m of your life?

=> This could be usecase for higher acceptance of Bitcoin

yep, I also use adblock

however, it might be a very interesting business case TO USE BITCOIN for general public

btw, adblock might not work if publishers will start to use other techniques for revenue (paywall?) and/or tracking of actual display of ads...

Op, even if you have not adblock at all you will be able to skip youtube commercials after 3 seconds. So your calculations is wrong to begin with.

magic actions is the best. it blocks pre-video ads, it blocks in-video pop-up ads, it sets all videos to HD, it sets all videos to wide screen, you can control the volume with the mouse wheel.

Possibly. I live in a country, where people earn 2.5 USD per hour, go figure ;)

Not really. I rather save that dollar and use it for something else. I usually can skip adds after three seconds too, but if its longer I just try to do something else while I wait.

as long as there is ad-block there is no need for paying for any kind of service

Does adblock work on youtube videos? I'd probably pay a dollar if I could skip the ads on 1000 videos if that's what you're suggesting. I think Youtube will earn more than a dollar from those ads though so I'm not sure if it's worth it to them.
