As a long-time user hearing YouTube wants to play extra ads when I pause a video

I was fine with giving them 5 seconds of attention in exchange for a video. Then they added more and more, and moved the skip button SOMETIMES. It's straight up disrespectful.

I also HATE that if you miss the skip button on the first of multiple ads, they disable the skip button for another number of seconds.

I was okay with giving the recovering alcoholic just a small drink but this, I can't abide.
