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.

Oh, if only they were just 5 seconds.

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.

I don’t think watching a couple of five second skippable ads every now and again counts as bootlicking, but I can’t be tossed to argue with you.

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.

I don’t know what sort of channels you watch but I absolutely do not get a similar experience and I watch a shit load of YouTube

I don’t subscribe. I put up with a few short ads here and there.

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

Lol, for real
