like on porn sites
If only YouTube ads were as unobtrusive as PornHub's.. one five-second-skippable ad before each video is all I've ever seen
Except the ads on porn sites are easier to block than YouTube's intrusive garbage. A simple DNS filter should be enough for most porn ads, whereas YouTube requires more complex blocking techniques.
and some piracy sites too
