I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:
“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”
What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

Lots of comments here already, but I’ll dive in too.
Yes, I block the ever loving shit out of ads at any and all levels. I will gladly, happily, and freely drop a few bucks to creators I like now and then. Make it easy for me and I’m in. However, I will not be subjected to endless YouTube ads, banners on every website I visit, etc etc.
My wife doesn’t understand it in the least, but that’s ok. I block ads for all my devices at the DNS layer, use modified apps to help out where that’s less useful, or just forgo using a website/app/service if it’s intrusive in any way.
I hate ads with a passion, especially after having worked with them really heavily during part of my career. I know what kind of insanity is being tracked and used here and my knowledge is a decade old at this point. Don’t even want to think about modern day equivalents I don’t know diddly about. So, scorched earth policy suits me just fine.
But again, I would love to drop a few bucks now and then for creators I like, whether thats an individual or a company. Just make it easy and it’s yours. No problem at all.
