love a 1m ad on every 10s video

Christmas 2020 I tried to watch midnight Mass from Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York on YouTube. (Not live; after.)

SIX MINUTES of commercials at the start, and the rest of the program had TWENTY-SIX commercial breaks.

I haven't watched YouTube since.

What is happening is they are pushing you to Youtube Premium.

Sounds like they pushed him away from YouTube. And they pushed others into adblockers
