>there's really no excuse on youtube except "I'm a cheap shit"

or perhaps the slightly more valid excuse of "i don't live in australia, mexico, korea, new zealand, or the united states"

That's not an excuse. They're short ads, not paywalls.

I literally can't buy Youtube Red. I would have done and I'd probably never have moved to Spotify if I could, but I can't so I'll just block their ads because they're awful. One day they might let me pay them, but unless their originals become competitive with Netflix I probably can't be bothered now.
