It was…oh my god. Do you have ANY idea how awful the vanilla youtube experience is?
Whether or not that matters depends on how much and how you watch it.
Ads while I listen to music = annoying I want to navigate fast to different videos on PC to find something and almost every time an ad appears on a new video = annoying I’m watching some chill drive or walk while reading a book and a loud ad appears = annoying.
But when I just go and watch 1-3 videos before bed on my ipad? I don’t care if I get those 2-4 ads, I just mute and wait those couple of seconds. I have no youtube adblockers or different clients on ipad / phone for that reason.

“Based on these reports, users see a message stating “Comments are turned off,” which appears across a wide range of videos”
Seems like a win to me.
