I blame it on the cable cutters who watch YouTube all the time. None of these guys read any more. They watch YouTube or listen to podcasts of random people who have become YouTube or podcast stars. They link YouTube videos from people most of us have never heard of, and expect other people to watch them.
Read an article and post the link, and maybe I'll read it, but I'm not watching your YouTube expert's freaking video.

YouTube has been like that for years.

I don’t mind it too much. It’s a small price to pay to have endless free entertainment.

I think the only commercial that I've ever watched on youtube is the Dr. Squatch soap commercial because it was funny from the start. The commercial has like over 100 million views on youtube too. I would think that 99% of commercials on there are a total waste of money since basically all people automatically tune out as soon as their video is interrupted, but maybe not.

Not all ads have a skip button after 5 seconds and you are forced to watch the whole ad.

Premium is worth it. You also get YouTube music with it, which I like better than Spotify.

Always sucks when a choice Pink Floyd song gets chopped by an ad for some random new medication I don't need.

I remember trying to sleep to one of those ambient sound vids. Nice volume, noise cancellation earbuds, full immersion.

Doze off and an ad plays full blast. Ruined my night

I've got YouTube music, premium YouTube comes with it. Its worth it if you watch videos often.

No ads.

If you are getting that ad, someone in your house is googling that medication.

Hopefully, the ads are not for Viagra, Cialis, Hims, or Roman, otherwise someone may be sending you a message.

I use an adblocker on my desktop that stops 100% of ads. I never get one.

On mobile, I use Brave browser with ad blockers enabled which stops most all ads. I do not use any Youtube app because they typically don't let you block ads.

Install the Brave browser on your cell phone, sync with your desktop Brave browser and extensions. No more ads, or shorts, on your cell phone.

It’s worth it. I use YT a lot and it would be hard to go back to having ads.
