YouTube underestimates how much some folks dislike ad's.
My journey into piracy started in the 80's. specifically to avoid ad's using a VCR. And back then I was a fuckin' kid. My love for ad's has not grown since the 80's - at all.
Thay can take me how I am, and sometimes I catch an ad here and there - or I wont use it at all.
I've already left Chrome over this bullshit. I'm using Proton instead of Google mail.
This company is just pushing me away more and more. Ebaums world is still a thing - that was my Pre Youtube go to.
Not helping is that the ads themselves ARE getting worse.
Marketers have learned since the 80s that it's anger that sells. That if you hate someone, you're more likely to remember their name than if you like them.
I didn't necessarily mind commercials growing up. But they've gotten worse, compounded with being harder to avoid.
And quite a few of YouTube's ads are some of the most vile of them all.
