I swear I’m about done with YT. The ads are long, overabundant, irrelevant, and timed specifically to fuck with people in the middle of specific segments of content. I mean, I keep getting ads for Oppenheimer for the past four days. I already own Oppenheimer - and Google knows this. My Google account is linked to my MoviesAnywhere account, they have this information. What is the point of “targeted” advertisements if they net the advertiser zero value? Is Google just messing with users trying to block their ads at this point?
Half the point of ads these days isn’t to advertise to you, it’s to piss you off enough to upgrade to a paid plan. If they happen to also make money from the adverts, then that’s just an added bonus.
I’ll never pay. I’ve spent so much money of failed Google products at this point they owe me YT premium for life. If they make bypassing ads impossible I’ll just stop watching.
I was watching a video on a timeline of events with Puff Daddy and it hit this one part that went something like, “the young man said that Diddy wanted to play with his anus. Which reminds me of our sponsor, the law offices of so and so. Life is unpredictable and you or your loved ones could get molested too. If that happens you’ll need legal representation! Our sponsor will represent you…”.

Haven’t seen ads in ages… Firefox on linux with uBlock origin.
I am enjoying Freetube on desktop, and I just don’t watch videos on my phone.

Some of the sponsored shit is crazy too.

Holy shit my brain shorted on that one.
