Youtube and friends only have themselves to blame: the tighter they turn the ad screw the more people they push to ad blockers. We went from a single tolerable, skippable 5 seconds ad segment to multiple unskipable very long segments in just a few years.

I say this as someone who pays for YouTube Premium.

And that's before we get into the content of the ads themselves, which is beyond insulting.
