I've watched an ad to watch a movie trailer....also known as an ad

I got an unskippable 15-second ad... on a video that was 10 seconds long. 😐

not unless you use Brave Browser- no ads at all, in fact no ads anywhere!

Use opera gx. No more ads for free.. Just sayin'

Adblock works wonders.

Truth!

I’ve not sees an ad on YouTube for about 3 years. Joys of premium

amen

Death, taxes, and ads.

So true. Ads on YouTube are annoying! I once wanted to watch a quick 10 Second video or so, and it had an unskippable 30 second ad before it! Or once I wanted to put on some music to do chores and settled on a 3 hour compilation of party music. After every second or third song they were interrupted by ads!

YouTube premium, worth it. Or an ad blocker if you don't have the money for premium.

I grew up with a black and white tv with a roof antenna that got 3 broadcast with commercials and 1 public station with pledge drives depending on the weather. I can handle 15 seconds worth of ads on YouTube.

2024: MORE ADS

Pandas, is this a reference to youtube on mobile device? I use youtube daily on my PC and I never see an ad unless it is part of the actual video (presenter talking about the video's sponsor). I am not a premium member. I do have an ad blocker I use to minimize web surfing ads but AFAIK it isn't doing anything to youtube. (though maybe it is?)

well, Youtube goes the way of US TV

Sounds like tv

The worst is when they advertise as a sponsored video. 7 minute video to tell you about Simplisafe for 4 minutes.

Like going to a theater to watch a movie these days. LOTS of ads before it starts, some for TV shows.

Watching a Bob Ross/ Forensic Files vid trying to go to sleep......NOW BUY THIS FXXKING GAME FFS 2 minute ad. F*k off and NO no-one will buy it now even if it's free

:-(

Wait, there are ads on YouTube? *Smiles in AdBlock*

tired off in Youtube? get Youtube Prime ! best invention since sliced bread!

stop using youtbe for this reason.
