Have you tried watching YouTube in the west without Adblock or YouTube premium? Psychological abuse doesn’t even begin to describe experience.

  I have. It was mostly the usual nonsense- overpriced kitchen knives, stupid phone games, car insurance, clothes, that sort of thing. Nothing about anything I saw rose even close to the level of psychological abuse.

    Showing multiple ads across a couple of minutes video and at least one add at the start is not a psychological abuse to you? I'm not binge watching YouTube anymore, and I have premium, but this is borderline insane. Imagine EVERY action that you do is being monetized and you're literally prevented from doing anything while the ad is showing.

      “Literally prevented from doing anything” - well this is a complete lie, so we can ignore the rest of what you said.

        Excuse me? You can somehow watch video through the ad?
