  Imagine being that dug in over a couple of five second ads.

      Either that, or they ironically use adblockers/an alternative frontend.

    A couple five second ads I can handle. What I can’t handle are two unskippable 15-30 second ads at the beginning of every video and at 2-3 random points throughout each video without warning; especially after over a decade of pretty much never watching ads for anything.

    I got 2 15 second ads for a clip of 30 seconds that wasn’t even their own content. No thank you.

      Then you rewind to a part needing review and end up seeing the damn ads again. Same irrelevant ads that I cannot figure out why they insist on me seeing.

      Back to back ads are only an option for videos five minutes or longer. You’re talking shite.

    Yeah, imagine a company being so dug into ruining the user experience.

      Imagine a company wanting to make money rather than run as a charity for needy content consumers.

        Imagine licking the boots of a soulless billion dollar corporation.

        Ironic to be defending companies on a platform designed to subvert companies

    More like multiple 30 second to 2 minute ads in an 8 minute video.
