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.
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.

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

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

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

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.
