Waaaay more painful. Lately, primarily when via Chromecast, I get ads that are three to 15+ minutes long. Whole music videos forced into the middle of my kid watching a kids show. One time I got a literal sermon as an ad. The whole thing.
It feels like it should be illegal, especially for kids videos. I'm doing dishes the room over and have to stop, dry my hands, dig through my phone to find the skip button.
Before COVID hit, I remember people talking about watching YT content as a regular viewing medium which I thought was sort of low rent. Changed my mind when I discovered the crazy amount of choice and content. Got rid of Netflix and bought YT premium.
Advertising revenue will clear the national debt
Yay but ads on YouTube are way more painful
More painful then tv ads? Uh nope

Weird, I've had YouTube premium for years and prior it was never nearly as bad as tv ads every like 8 minutes
It’s been bad here lately. It really has.
