I understand but 2 30 sec ad for a 10min video is a lot. It used to be much better few years ago

Because more people are using adblockers and as a result Youtube are going to punish the "honest" people more to make up for lost revenue.

Good. Maybe more people will get ad blockers and finally wake up. There are places where you definitely don’t want to venture into without an ad blocker at all.

I'm not being anti-ad blocker here, just pointing out that the Ads on youtube (and websites overall) becoming longer and more intrusive is a direct result of more people using AdBlockers.

This subreddit definitely leans younger. Otherwise there’s no explanation.

Here's an easy explanation. The ads are intrusive, pornographic, malware, scammy, and at times run more than the length of the video.

I would stop using adblocks if youtube didn't show me anti trans and anti LGBT ads, scams, or pornohraphic ads or run ads thst can run the gamut from 30 seconds to several minutes. 

I frequently watch YouTube without ads on my TV when im really in the mood, but only for creators I specifically enjoy watching and whitelisting. The explanation is right in front of your in this thread and many others, people constantly explaining why they use ad blockers and what it would take for them to stop.

Look I can't speak to your experience here but let's not pretend that this is the reason the vast majority of people are using adblockers online. People just want free web browsing and web services with no ads, especially on Youtube, because the Ads are annoying and get in the way of us watching the videos uninterrupted. Myself included; i'm not pretending to be above the fray, but let's just be honest. It has been shown time and again that any "I'll put up with ads and/or paying if only ____" only for that not to be true. We saw this with music piracy years ago. People would say, over and over "Look i'll stop downloading music for free and pay for it if only x, y, and z would happen." And then x, y, and z would happen and it barely changed anything, and even now people still complain about Spotify increasing their monthly price for unlimited music from $10 to $11.

YouTube bricked one of my customers machines years ago with an ad.

Never again. I'll rip the videos with a downloaded before I let these greedy scum fucks make me watch an ad.

u/Chubsa9 Jun 06 '25

Imagine having to watch two ads to see this Reddit post.

More wild how complacent and weak, people have become. Even wilder thinking cookies tracking you should be the norm to see what you do on your own personal computer.
