YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.

Yes, the annoyance of the ads is the bigger problem. Give short, non-annoying ads (the solar ones are some of the worst) and I won't work to stop them.
Or at the very least, show me a healthy variety of ads, instead of spamming the same ad over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and--
their ad algo sucks. You search diets, and suddenly your inbox is spammed for months with weightloss adds. or they determine you're a stay at home mom because you let your SiL on your network one time... and now you get shit loads of bra adds. (okay, maybe they just determined I have really nice boobs. Which is kinda why I was looking for the diet... manboobs aren't really all that attractive.)
