dioxxys 11/01/23 5:48:09 AM #1:	I didn't let it bother me when I was watching YouTube ads on my mobile app because I would maybe get one ad per video and they used to be skippable after like 2 seconds. It's been a while since they were skippable that quick, okay I can deal with that it's one ad per video and sometimes it's a 5-second one I can skip. Nope now If I ever watch an hour-long video, I'll literally get an ad now every 5-7 minutes. I feel like this is a really new development. I used to not use YouTube in a browser because it wouldn't work properly in the internet app but now I have a newer phone so maybe it won't be an issue if I find a ad blocker that works. Point is, I'm being driven up a wall by ads every 5 minutes. I'm desperate enough to actually stop being lazy and find a block for it. At least they would get revenue before but now they won't be getting any from me. Fuck YouTube. <cite>dioxxys posted [p:976970721] in Youtube ad...

Zergrush80 11/02/23 4:49:12 AM #37:	Once youtube get rid of ad blockers completely, I'm betting they are gonna up the ad frequency to try and force you to get premium. Imagine them going the twitch route and making you have to watch 10/10 ads in a row, all like 30s to a min long. That was the main reason i dont even watch twitch anymore. --- For the Swarm!!!!! <cite>Zergrush80 posted [p:976989086] in Youtube ad...

Been seeing this one lately on my phone since ads there seem easy to deal with.. Claims watching 3 hours of videos a day can earn me 200 thousand dollars a year. Whoa, that's totally not going to be complete and utter bullshit. <cite>projectpat72988 posted [p:976989293] in Youtube ad...

CassandraCroft 11/02/23 6:30:09 AM #40:	HylianFox posted... I've been a Firefox user for many years now, and it's weird that YT blocks me from watching videos on my PC, but even though I use Firefox mobile with Adblock it don't have any issues there. I'm thinking of just stop using YT on PC altogether and just use mobile. I too am on Firefox PC and have no issues watching Youtube on it. I do however have other sites that prevent me from using them because they detect my ad blockers for instance Dailymotion.com. For those that don't know Dailymotion.com is a site just like Youtube. Whenever I went to Dailymotion I would get the Ad Block detected warning but I found a neat way around it. In Firefox I went into my add-ons and themes, disabled Ad Block, reloaded the home page of Dailymotion.com, reenabled Ad Block and was able to watch the site ad free. Try that on Youtube and see how you get on. Speaking of ads on Youtube I think I set a record the other week when I noticed that uBlock had blocked this many ads on it: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/ce425e4e.jpg --- All your base are belong to us.
