I’m in the same boat here. I used to be cool watching the ads, but then they just got ridiculous. If I’m forced to watch ads, I’ll just do something else. I can reserve YouTube for only necessary viewing like DIYs that will save me money. I can skip the “entertainment” style videos which are 95% of my viewing and do literally anything else with my time lol.
