I read your edit and thought “how bad could it be?”

I started reading the comments and it was way worse than I thought.

The most upvoted comments all display a great deal of “I only read 2 words of your original post” energy.

I didn’t bother with an adblocker until recently myself because I was okay with a couple of ads or mentioning sponsors.

Then, one day, the ads just multiplied on every video. It was that sudden for me. After a couple of days, I downloaded apps for my phone and TV and it’s been wonderful.

I’ll watch YT in all its horribleness on my consoles if I’m looking for something game-related and I don’t want to get up and grab my phone.,
