Youtube ads are out of control!

Every time ads come on I'm just reminded of how much money I'm saving by not purchasing premium.

I also decided that ad blockers are more annoying than skipping ads.

"Reload page" button skips ads also. So if the ad is long, reload and YouTube replaces it with a shorter ad that gets you to the "skip" button quicker.

You tube needs viewers more than we need subscriptions. So we always own the winning hand.

Which means that they are not trying to get you to go away, they're just trying to convince you that the ads are enough to get you to pay up for premium. I grew up watching TV with commercials, it's nothing new.

how is an Ad Blocker more annoying ?... you don't even see it working in the background

The nag to get me to turn off my ad blockers started a couple of months ago. Yes, there are three ad blocking extensions on my computer. Then finally a few days ago they completely blocked me from watching videos. So I switched browsers, that worked for a few days then they started blocking me from that one too.

I can turn off two of my ad blockers and watch, most of the time.

I have honestly never had a Youtube video ask me to turn off my AD blocker.. a few website have but never Youtube
