AIBU to find 💯 of YouTube ads not only irrelevant to me but also repetitive to the point of me wanting to throw my phone across the room. The xylophone on one of them - is it revolut? I shout “ not relevant to me !” In the sad hope that the Dumpkopf algorithm might hear me and HAVE MERCY ON MY NERVES.
revolut
monzo “MONZO ME? I’VE GOT THIS!” 😣
abs of steel - various
car finance (I didn’t ever buy cars with finance - stop advertising at me you A**les!)
It makes me determined to never patronize these companies - having said that ads have never once been relevant to me on youtube.
Maybe intelligent people go ad free?
Who can stand these ads?

Are they trying to drive us to pay for no ads? All it’s doing is making me use YouTube less.

I get a lot of Scottish YouTube ads. Apparently Scotland are bringing in new regulations for those in charge of vulnerable children and adults...? Lovely, I'm sure, but I don't live anywhere near Scotland so I don't know why I would need to know this.

Totally agree OP and I feel YouTube has change so much since I first started using it in 2009
