    As irritating as it is. I do understand. The internet and things on the internet can’t just be free, and ads is how we pay.

    I do highly disagree with how many ads they’ve been playing with implementing.

      They main problem I have with this is that we don’t have a decent alternative for youtube yet. The main reason I don’t want to pay for youtube is because it is Google. With YT premium you don’t buy privacy (logically you would say with removing ads you also remove the need to track people).

        Yeah, that’s an excellent point. Youtube does have a monopoly for that. It would be nice if there were competition in the space.

      It is not just the quantity, but the quality of ads.

      Users would not be so concerned if they employed banner ads instead of 5 minute long ads which just force you to sit and wait for a 5 second video.
