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.
