I mainly watch YouTube while eating lunch, so usually 10-30 min videos. I’ve just sat through 11 adverts in a 20-minute video and felt so annoyed by the end. The person kept being cut off in the middle of sentences or when they were just about to show something, all so I could watch the same bloody adverts on repeat! Now there’s also a little ad box on the screen which cuts off any text in the corner.
The other evening I sat down to watch a nice relaxing musical on YouTube. Same thing with adverts literally every 5 minutes, some you have to skip or they’ll keep playing forever. By the end of the 90 minutes I felt how a toddler must feel when you turn off their favourite show! It’s surprisingly infuriating!
I know it’s to try to make me pay £10+ a month to remove the ads, but the tactic is so annoying I don’t want to reward them by giving them my money. Especially when I’m only watching for 20 mins a day (but half of that is stupid ads for handbags). I wouldn’t mind sitting through extra ads at the beginning or end if I was allowed to watch the actual video!
Just wanted to rant and wondering if it’s actually only me that’s getting annoyed
