My youtube experience:
- open video
- 2 unskippable ads
- click somewhere in the video to skip the creator's sponsor section (more ads)
- 2 more unskippable ads
- video plays, the original audio was automagically replaced by a dogshit 1995 tier "ai" dub
- it's not the part I wanted to see, click somewhere else
- 2 more unskippable ads
At that point I spent 5 minutes watching ads and forgot why I came here...

- EZ-E 1y agoYoutube is squeezing more and more to push subscribing to premium. Youtube is where "everything" is - they know they can squeeze hard, where else are you going to go? Ironically it looks more and more like TV with the non stop ads and sponsors.
- world2vec 1y agoEither pay for their Premium service or use uBlock Origin (Firefox) + SponsorBlock. Otherwise YouTube is unusable.
- tim333 1y agoMy experience - ublock lite. Haven't seen an add for ages. Watch two seconds of creator's sponsor section then skip to next bit.
- majora2007 1y agoAdd sponsorblock to skip those sections automatically as well.
