Yep! Love em. I use filters and such all the time. I have several topics I do not care for at all, so I skip right over those.

I think the only thing I have experienced so far about content warnings is that the material behind it/them is interesting to me to look at.
I think of them like food content warnings for non-lethal allergies, like lactose intolerance. It's a kindness to have a warning that helps people avoid shitting their pants. However, we all need to recognize that it is just that, a kindness. There is an inherent risk when someone says 'hey, taste this.' If you have a high sensitivity, you have a responsibility for self-care through self-denial. If you were uncertain if a food contained something to which you had an extreme sensitivity, you'd say 'no, thank you.' Same holds true for the whole world of media. You can hope for kindness, and put in the effort give it to others where you will, but don't trust that it will always be given to you because it is an extra effort.
No.
I don't understand people who are upset by fictional works. It's fiction.
