When businesses are required to increase profits by 30% every year to not be seen as a failure, they would increase the ads no matter how many of the users watch them.

Ronnie@lemmy.ca 1 year agoPerhaps ads become more unreasonable because so many people block them that those who do watch them are forced to pick up the slack?

No, it’s just following the curve, until their metrics show them that people stop watching they reduce the number of ads 10% until next cycle.
They have been using the frog boiling method, they crossed my limit like two years ago, when they went from a 5 second ad each x videos to two ads for every video.
