Consider how advertising on any of those platforms looks compared to five or ten years ago.
How does it look? I haven’t braved the web without adblockers in years.

Annoying as shit. My girlfriend doesn’t have an ad less youtube app on her phone, and whenever we watch a video on her phone I get genuinely annoyed by the ads.
I’ve offered to do it for her but so far she doesn’t see the need to install one, but apparently youtube is pushing more ads caused she recently started complaining too.

I really don’t understand how so many people just put up with it. I actually helped an older relative with it a couple of months ago, he isn’t even the tech-illiterate type. Mere weeks after that, he’s back to using YouTube with ads.

In my case it’s kind of my fault since I’m on iOS so I have to sideload uYou+, and sometimes I forgot to refresh the app which means I have to connect my phone to my pc and refresh it manually, which put her off of a third party app.
But she has an android phone and, if all is still well and good in phone world since after I switched to Apple, she wouldn’t have to deal with that, which I told her. But so far she’s not interested and like you said, I have no idea why she puts up with it.
