I don’t mind ads in principal but I use an adblocker. Because there’s a big difference between placing a tasteful ad or two on a page, and forcing me to watch 2 or 3 obnoxious irrelevant commercials while still placing ads all over the screen and making me click annoyance-optimized [X]s or skip options. And I’m already paying for two multi-user GSuites and Nest, despite their constant efforts to make those services shittier and claiming necessity of annual price increases. I would be far likelier to subscribe to YouTube premium if every single one of Googles products wasn’t constantly decreasing in quality over time. Google home worked better in 2018 than it does today. They don’t need my ad revenue, they need to overhaul their performance evaluation because there’s diminishing returns on how many ads a person can watch per day and they must be approaching the limit if they’re resorting to targeting techies who won’t click ads anyway.
