Comment on Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers.

I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷‍♂️

Really? The platform you choose to use for “free” that literally funds itself with ads? NO!

It doesnt fund itself. It rakes it in.

A few ads are fine imo. The problem is I can watch a 9 minute video and be subjected to more advertising than the telly.

  I’m in the same boat here. I used to be cool watching the ads, but then they just got ridiculous. If I’m forced to watch ads, I’ll just do something else. I can reserve YouTube for only necessary viewing like DIYs that will save me money. I can skip the “entertainment” style videos which are 95% of my viewing and do literally anything else with my time lol.

  That’s still funding itself, you’re not liking the deal or your opinion of how much they should make doesn’t change that. That’s just reality.

  Correct, and that’s their choice, OR you can pay and get rid of them, OR do like most and block them all. DNS and Sponsorblock work wonders.
