I was happy to pay, and starting using Contributor the moment I found out about it.
Not nearly enough ads were replaced by Contributor. Worse, it was the more innocuous ones that were replaced, while the most obnoxious blared on through.
On top of that, it showed me the absolutely paltry amount paid out to the sites running the ads.
So back came adblock, and Contributor mostly just helped on my mobile browsing. I bought Contributor to contribute to the sites, and some for Google, not majority Google, dribble for sites.

That was a serious problem, I agree, and not one we could do anything about at the time. The problem was, those more-obnoxious ads were mainly not served by Google in the first place.
(There may have been a period when Contributor only worked on a subset of Google's ad products, mostly for technical reasons.)
