So today I watched probably about 5 hours of youtube content and I think I only ran into about 2 ads during the entire experience I really don’t experience that many ads on youtube anymore and I have turned off my ad blockers and such explicitly for Youtube since I wanted to give at least a little bit of ad revenue to the content creators that I watched at the time that I turned it off. Yet I continuously hear that people have been having problems with too many ads and that ads are ruining the experience on youtube. How many ads do people who watch without ad blocker get on a video such that it’s seemingly ruining the experience?
There is a series my kid likes. I am not exaggerating when I say there is an ad after every two minutes, maybe even more frequently than that.
Not only that, but I have seen ads that show up that have a time as long as 45 minutes!
My head hangs low and I feel ashamed when I say I purchased Premium. They got me. I never would have if it weren’t for my kids.
I got those uunskippable 45 minute ads during the 2019 federal election but I haven’t gotten any of those ones since then. That definitely made me turn on an ad blocker till the elections ended.
Why would you turn off an adblocker?
