I give you five stars for creativity and the addon seems to work as intended. The only problem with it is that being intrusive isn't the only problem with ads. They've become huge, and weirdly prioritized, killing page load times. They contain embedded trackers, and often gather personal data. They can be loud (I <i>despise</i> video/audio ads that start automatically). I want to have ads running, but because of these and other problems, I just can't. All in all, until ads stop being so horrible for reasons beyond what this addon seeks to fix, I'm going to have to stick with uBlock. But like I said - it's a neat idea and it seems to work well.
