I would rather donate to ad blockers lel

Imagine being that dug in over a couple of five second ads.

A couple five second ads I can handle. What I can't handle are two unskippable 15-30 second ads at the beginning of every video and at 2-3 random points throughout each video without warning; especially after over a decade of pretty much never watching ads for anything.

I got 2 15 second ads for a clip of 30 seconds that wasn't even their own content. No thank you.

Then you rewind to a part needing review and end up seeing the damn ads again. Same irrelevant ads that I cannot figure out why they insist on me seeing.

Oh, if only they were just 5 seconds.

Yeah, imagine a company being so dug into ruining the user experience.

Imagine a company wanting to make money rather than run as a charity for needy content consumers.

Imagine licking the boots of a soulless billion dollar corporation.

I don't think watching a couple of five second skippable ads every now and again counts as bootlicking, but I can't be tossed to argue with you.

I logged on just to tell you to make sure to get the laces nice and clean

Bro, you're five children deep in the thread. You've lost the "I won't argue with you" opportunity at this point, just own it.

Agree. However suggesting to others that this is ok, definitly is.

Ironic to be defending companies on a platform designed to subvert companies

More like multiple 30 second to 2 minute ads in an 8 minute video.

I don't know what sort of channels you watch but I absolutely do not get a similar experience and I watch a shit load of YouTube

Found the premium subscriber.

I don't subscribe. I put up with a few short ads here and there. I thought that should be obvious given the other comments I've made in this thread.
