Comment on YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto

When ads get in the way I simply don’t watch the videos. It’s not like I ever really need to watch any particular video.

Educational content is hard to come by outside of YouTube, so it would suck to have to avoid watching those videos because of ads.
But I’ll do what I have to do in order to avoid ads for as long as possible. And I’ll archive important content in the meantime.

I pay for nebula, they have a lot of educational content and the price is low enough that I don’t mind it

Sounds good, but if I search “microwave repair” or “improve vo2max” , it comes up with zero results.
That’s the sort of stuff we’d lose if creators don’t move away from YouTube. 😟

Thats true, I once had to repair my washing machine and I could only find 1 video about the same model and same repair. It was a large Russian man that I could not understand (this was before auto generated subtitles).
Anyways, I just looked at the video and copied everything he did and I fixed my machine.
