"Experiencing interruptions? Find out why" - Naah I'm fine dude, just take your time.
Oh no! The video is black for a few seconds instead of showing several ads for a minute! Whatever am I going to do???
Even if they keep the screen black for 30 second to a minute, I'd still gladly wait in silence than be subjected to advertisements.
If they ever make it impossible to watch videos without first watching ads, then I'll just leave the platform. I have no loyalty to YouTube and I'll sooner dump the platform and move on to other video sites than deal with enshittification and ads.

Yep. Then it will be time to finally start exploring peertube or something...
Oh that's why it says this? Guess I'll block this message too.
I would pay if it was a quality service and not ran by clowns
Also not run by oligarchs
All oligarchs are clowns, but all clowns are not oligarchs
They're eventually gonna start banning accounts for this and then requiring login to view YouTube.
Do ye folks not have newpipe?
i do, and i get a pop up every time i use it now, warning that their services will likely end this fall
The people saying "just pay for premium" don't seem to understand that in the beginning YouTube was free and had no ads. When google purchased it they promised to keep it that way. Then they slowly started with ads. At first they were pretty unobtrusive banners, then a short skippable preroll then multiple preroll then unskippable preroll. The reason I refuse to pay for premium is because Google created this issue and is now selling the solution. I refuse to be a part of that. It has nothing to do with the creators.
The cost of hosting YouTube itself doesn't pay for itself unfortunately. They could get away with it back then because the internet itself wasn't that big. Therefore, we need to KICK THE NORMIES OUT OF OUR INTERNET. WE WERE HERE FIRST, REEEEEE
Dafuq is a scarescreen?
you know those FBI Warnings in front of a LEGALLY (they are removed by pirates on pirated movies) procured Movie? Those are scare screens.
So is the scare screen when the UI flicker's and I get a pop up saying "why you experiencing interruptions"?. I use brave browser
I found that logging out solves it
My favourite unexpected bonus from switching to Linux has been a completely ad free youtube experience. Not entirely sure why this magic is happening but I love it.
On windows Firefox + ublock origin is an ad free experience for YouTube. Any chance you picked a browser that has ublock origin added hy default?
