I used adblock before they started doing that.
Just part of having a brain, I guess.

YouTube: starts putting 2, sometimes even 3 ads that are often unskippable before and in the middle of 10 minute videos
Also YouTube: Why are people using adblockers?

They want the non paid experience to be as awful and painful as possible, because they want people to pay.
It’s the classic business manager 1st quarter profit push, damn the consequences or damage to reputation.
They could offer a sensible 5$ plan and sensible ads, but now, infinite growth demands maximum fuckery.

Not to mention WHAT they are advertising.
Like, blatant bigotry and propaganda disguising itself as actual shows.
Some of them being multiple hours long.
Which isnt a problem on PC running an adblocker, but if you have it running on a device like roku/game console/etc, then you are gonna be stuck with hours of right wing lies until you notice and manually skip the ad.
