For the massive amount of data that Google and Youtube has of my web history, they sure do an awful job at serving commercials. 90% of the time it's Grammerly or how to know if your olive oil is fake.

On the other hand Facebook is the best and I've bought more from those ads % wise than any other platform or television in general.

Targeted vs pay per ad, maybe.

The advertising on YouTube is out of control. A 10 minute video has three adds I feel like.

The ads are so strange too. They’re like you can cool your entire home with this three inch fan or other weird scammy shite.

You get ads?

Laughing at you in selfhosted DNS with adlists over 975K domains long.

The ads have got out of control. All of my ads are for mobile games with anime and I have never like either.

I make a mental note of every ad that's played just to make sure I never buy that product or use that service.

I’ve never seen a YT ads and told myself “that looks like a good idea”. If anything the commercials only piss you of because it’s standing between you and your desired content.

Like all entertainment media being broadcast one way or another for the last 100 years?

It's death by slow torture method to get you to buy premium.

I have YouTube Premium on the annual plan for about $139.99. Love it!

Last night I started getting ads and went nuts. Turns out my year expired, and they did not send me any notice. The only renewal options showing on mobile were much more expensive monthly payments. I had to get on the PC to find the annual plan. Gladly paid it, and the ads are gone again.

I've watched the two actors from Scrubs standing on the balcony and yelling across the ravine about TMobile literally at least 100 times,
