It’s the same idiotic MBA reasoning that keeps bringing the popup back in some new form every few years. No, it wasn’t the technical implementation of the delivery mechanism we were upset about, you absolute fucking morons.

I think it’s funny that Google thinks putting an ad in when someone is most engaged with a video will be an effective advertising technique. So someone’s going to be absorbed in the video, be presented with an ad while absorbed and engaging with a video, and be happy that they were interrupted to be served an ad? Sounds like a great formula for pissing off your users.

It’s always jarring loading a news site without ad blocking. The whole thing just seems cancerous, and that’s before you can even start reading the story.

I recently switched phones and forgot I didn’t have an adblocker installed yet. Clicked on an article and holy shit the modern mobile web is a toxic hellscape without it…

your phones also heats up, and then it gets slow. had to install adblockers to preserve the life of the phone batteries.

For YouTube, viewers aren’t the users, advertisers are.
