paused a youtube video at the beginning of the vid yesterday, tried playing it today when i had some time

after one second of video play, an ad came on that was mandatory viewing that couldn't be skipped. waited until the ad ended, pressed 'continue playing vid'

vid plays for two more seconds, then youtube again cuts to two consecutive ads that i couldn't skip. wtf

youtube has been a problem for years. ever since the 'cool kids' monotonized the entire platform with their corny prank vids back 6-7 years ago, nearly every vid has become unwatchable with the mandatory ads you have to wait through before/during every single vid.
Youtube Vanced.  Do it.

Whether content makers did or did not monetize their work, YouTube would still be showing you those ads. Google is in the advertising business and has been since its inception. It's literally their entire business model: track your activity, cater ads to your interests. Nothing is "free."

The show The Big Bang Theory, and the fact there are so many people out there that find it funny. How

it gave losers hope for attaining hot sluts like penny.

Hulu keeps playing ads for Young Sheldon and I truly don’t get it

The trailer is so unappealing I can’t imagine how bad the show is

As the old saying goes: if the product is free, then you're the product.

I actually don't find Youtube ads bothersome at all. Most of the time if they even appear there's a Skip Ads button anyway, and I've definitely never had one appear midway through a video. Although I don't watch Youtube TV, 98% of what I use it for is music and DIY excrement.

There is a whole world of people you don't ever think about that exist in this country.  They still sit on their asses at the same time and watch antenna tv like it's TGIF on ABC in the 90s.

I used to send sailors for disciplinary review for watching Young Sheldon and Big Bang Theory on their phones during watch.

I did it when I caught them watching any show, but I really felt like they deserved it with those two.

Having to report to an office that isn't mine so that I can serve as courtroom security.

I really didn't want to cut my hair and shave this week.
