Autism is it me or have youtube ads become unbearable

[MoonMetropolis]

I remember making my first account on YouTube in 2005, when I was 10 (and yes, that account is still up). At the time, it was a brand new site and it was mostly old music videos and old TV shows that people had uploaded. YouTube quickly became the fastest-growing site in internet history and, when Google's competitor Google Video flopped, Google decided to just buy YouTube instead. That, of course, started a long process of YouTube gradually becoming shittier and shittier with each passing year. In a few years, YouTube will be mostly AI-generated gigaslop with EPI thumbnails and multiple ads randomly inserted into each video. And the worst thing is that that really won't be much different than what YouTube currently is anyways.

I do have an adblocker on my copy of Google Chrome I mainly use, but the fact is that YouTube doesn't seem to like adblockers anymore, youtube just still appears with ads when it tries to utulize it, they just want the money, so that is why some people call it "JewTube"

having to watch 30 seconds of ads on a 10 minute video is enough to make me barf. no, i'm not interested in the chinky goom dung bok flip-flop smack flat face fishbone sucking rice principle nanking rape cherry blossom seppuku atomic bomb squat toilet cup noodle massage parlor handjob 2025 nissan armada with rice aesthetics and rice culture.

FreeTube or uBlock, if they ban your IP just wait a day for the ban to pass and clear your cookies.

Just you, everyone else uses an ad blocker.

 

[gemseed]

one reload as soon as you see an ad or if you notice an ad might be loading and reload kills ads for a while does the trick on mobile

I was listening to music and thinking about something and an ad made me completely lose my train of thought. Thanks YouTube, I almost had an original thought, but I will go back to mindlessly consuming content now as god intended

I’ve lost some really significant, potentially life changing insights this way. Or at least I feel like they were significant. I can’t be sure since I don’t remember what they were

I believe content creators can tweak how many ads they want to put in their video thus making more money. You’ve got channels that have their videos completely filled with ads (like every 5 mins of video or so) and sometimes you can watch a 4 hour long video essay with and advertisement at the beginning and nowhere else.
The quality of ads on the other hand, that’s a different story.
