YouTube is becoming almost unwatchable

Has anyone else been noticing way more frequent ads? It seems like they’re popping up every 3-4 minutes and they’re back to back 30 second ads that you can’t skip. Seems like this started a week or two ago.

just pay for youtube premium.

You tube premium is worth every penny. No ads and you can lock your screen and put it in your pocket and still listen

Jam, Ads down your throat non stop.
Its really, frustruating.
Youtube is the new Cable TV of our generation.
Non stop ad placement for things I got no interest in.

I bit the bullet last year and got it. You are correct. I watch YouTube as much as I watch regular tv.
However, YouTube shorts are a full pain in the arse. I wish there was a way to disable that showing up

Was watching the old delta cotton farmer video last night and in a 5 min video I got the same ad pop up three times telling me if I’m having to wipe my arse over a couple times when I take a shite, that something is wrong.
My 4yo loved it because poop and farts are always funny apparently

OT pastime. Snarky or condescending remark to illustrate your ignorance with no offer to educate.

Also the insinuation that you’re “a poor.”
Everyone here is responsible for hiring and firing many, many people from their perches on corporate ladders.

YouTube Red/Premium is a must.
YouTube is how I consume media. No Netflix etc.
And this holds true for most ppl.

Google is a wreck of a company right now. The google search results are crap and youtube is garbage. I can't think of a product they have that would win out if they had real competition. They are simply too big to fail and know it.

Seems like they would make more by selling ads than a $15/month subscription
I suspect it won’t be long before they start throwing in ads on premium too

Yes then you pay for ad-free stuff then the guy starts plugging the sponsor in the middle of the video!!

companies pay millions to google to run their ads
people pay millions to google to not see the ads
both the problem and solution line their pockets every minute of the day. this business model aint going away sadly
