I hate that I get ads that are longer than the video I want to watch. Granted, at least they let you skip the ad but still. There's no reason for an ad on a video to be as long as a paid programming commercial.

I pay for YouTube Premium since it means I don't have to look at ads on mobile devices either.

If not for that I wouldn't. I've already beaten ads on my PC.

YouTube has ads?

They just have my money every month and I forget YouTube is a veritable wasteland of shitty ads.

I'd have gone insane years ago if I had to suffer through as many ads as YouTube wants the average person to

Adblockers that only work if you want to use the half-ass experience of YouTube in a mobile browser.

So back to the original point: the app provides a better experience and that is enough to warrant paying for YouTube Premium.

I've been using an adblocker since they started using, no shit, one-hour-long unstoppable ads.

Content creators can shame me if they want, but I'm not gonna feel bad about blocking a one-hour-long unskippable ad.

I was mostly used to them on my Roku TV, but they decided that the video will skip a second or two when it goes to an ad. So when the ad is over, you have to rewind slightly and it's obnoxious.
