Hey, it's MY computer. FORCING me to view ads and MAKING me wait is EVIL.
I will do whatever the heck I want with MY computer. NOT THEIRS.

Hosting a website is not cheap, and they don't ask for paid subscriptions. It is the least you can do to contribute what you can in order to keep the sites functioning.
If you DO absolutely hate the ads and the waiting, you may want to at least consider contributing to the sites such as this one or TSR just to keep them alive.
Nothing is forever, and it would be sad to lose these type of sites because people did not want to wait 10 seconds for their download.
ETA:
If you have very little money. At the very least, do not block ads. But here is some helpful information that can keep sites like this one alive.

I would definitely rather pay instead of view ads, but unless you plan on reaching into my wallet and somehow finding how to redeem some bit of value from pocket fluff, I just cannot do that right now.

I would guess the 10 sec download wait is similar to the traffic lights on the highway on-ramp during rush hour. It is to prevent server bottleneck and crash. So... if everyone start using this extension, it'll eventually lead to poor server bandwith response, speed, and may eventually lead to a server crash.
(It is the same reason MTS has a 30 sec wait time between searches)
I also want to point out, it might be a mistake advertising it here. I'm sure some TSR developers are also MTS members and when they discover this extension, they can easily detect it and ban any members who use it.
