I swear you guys are watching videos made by low-quality people. I get ads, sure, but nothing I would find excessive or annoying. The only time I run into too many ads is on specific channels, and I don't stick around long when it becomes clear this creator is plastering their video with ads.
One is too many. Ads are mental abuse.
I mean, are you expecting strangers entertain you for free? Are you expecting the video host to operate as a charity? If you pay for the service, I'm just as mad as you are, but if it's free, someone has to pay for it somehow.
Don't give a fuck. I'm blocking the ads. If they want money out of me they'll have to find another way of getting it. I pay money to Patreons and streaming services I value. Google is spying on me for money. If they can't make that work they can all fuck off. Nobody has permission to subject me to mental abuse.
