I am happy with ads, but you probably have never been hit by a 30 min sponsored video at the beginning of a youtube video.

The ads turn the whole watching experience into a remote-searching minigame. I'd much rather have unskippable, but reasonably long ads.

How does this comment make sense as a reply? Obviously he has never been hit by one of those because he pays for Youtube and gets the ad free version. Same as me.
