I would rather not watch Youtube again then be exposed to terrible ads. I accidentally went on Youtube on Chrome and one of the ads was a straight up scam. $7.54 Switch! Like maybe if they had humans vet ads like you used to do maybe I would have less of a problem with it.

Lol I know exactly the company you’re talking about. I like their ads for $1 Lenovo headphones

It's funny when your first sentence is taken literally. You would rather stop watching YouTube and then, be exposed to terrible ads.

it's "than", not "then". To know which one to use, prononce it like if it rhymes with "ban" - instead of "hen" - in your head, you'll know which one is correct
