Youtube is practically unwatchable without Adblock. Randomly interrupting videos, often after less than 5 minutes, for ads is ridiculous. Especially for monitized videos that already have a paid sponsor in the video!
I would buy youtube premium, but their price is ridiculous. For $19/month, I can get a whole streaming service.
More than the random timing, it’s the length of the ads that is absurd. Why are they allowing 2 hour long ads, or 30 minute ads that are just another show entirely? This is super common on kids YT.
I wouldn’t be so annoyed if it was limited to a 15 second ad at the beginning and end of a video.
If you use the kids YouTube app then there are no ads. On tv, you can use the regular YouTube app to switch to your child’s account and then no more ads.
