Comment on Youtube Depends on Ads to work

Honestly if they stuck, and I mean actually stuck to "You know what, one ad, beginning of the video, unskippable, and the rest of the video (and content below, and everything) will be ad free until you start a new video - I’d do it. I’d honestly be okay with that. But it’s just so overbearing, everywhere is meant to draw your eye to ads, so no, I’ll do everything I can to get around them.

Or if they went back to their old advertisement model, remember when you used to get in line advertisements that played at the bottom of the video. I remember those they weren’t intrusive to the video content and you still saw them. It wasn’t obnoxious as hell and I would bd ok with that

Those inclined things drove me nuts. Might be a cultu thing in terms of how tv works.
I have seen recordings of American tv where things like that would advertise the next show so I guess people got stained to mote or less ignore them.
It’s not a thing that caught that caught on here. At least not while I still had a tv.
