YouTube premium, only time I hear ads are when my coworkers crank their shit too loud in the office, or when I have a brand new phone and have forgotten to log in.
Yeah, that may be so, but priorities man. Priorities! Think of our profits man! In this harsh economy, ever ad counts! We’re only controlling 90% of the internet while we strive for 100%. That’s 10% short. 10%! We only had a revenue of 305 billion in 2023 which is not nearly enough to cut down on ads. Billionaire lives matter man! Come on, everybody, say it all together: Make millionaires billionaires again! Billionaires first! Meemaws don’t consume enough anyway. Screw her. By the way, want some penis enlargement pills?
Proof? Aren’t there classes of videos non monetized on youtube? When I just google search for cpr and find the american red cross I quickly found written instructions as well as a youtube video that doesn’t appear to have any ads. Isn’t the problem that some video creators intentionally create videos for CPR in hopes of monetizing?

Worth every red nickel.
🤮
PornHub has been doing this. A little popup comes on screen when you pause the video for the first time.
They’ve started serving ads when you skip backwards. Drives me fucking nuts.
I was willing to use the mobile app with ads because the interface is slightly less buggy.
Ad blocking on mobile web it is for me now 👍

Tubular :)
Had to jump into the ‘name your alternative’ thread hehe.
Tubular because it includes SponsorBlock.
YouTube is unwatchable. No way I can make it through those ads.
Firefox + ublock origin = no ads
Yeah and when someone needs to watch a video on CPR in an emergency get ready for a shitstorm if you are forced to watch their long ass ads
Having a hard enough time just trying to fucking skip back 20 seconds without accidentally tapping on the creators’ page.
lol, ads
Not on my watch.
For that they’re waiting on the paperwork to go through with Apple.
not if you use ublock origin or newpipe
This already happened. People looking up CPR instructions because a loved one is dying, only to be met with three unskippable ads.
Goodbye Meemaw.

What ads? 😏
And next… after opening the app you will have to watch ad before you can do anything
Come on, this is Google we’re talking about. The ads come before opening the app.
True, maybe they do both and then some more when you try to close it.
like on porn sites
Anyone else remember when new technology used to be fun and exciting instead of miserable?
That’s what happens when you aren’t the (sole) paying customer.
