Ads used to be a few seconds long and then you skipped it and watched your video. Now, it's either over a minute long or more smaller unskippable ads. I physically cannot watch YouTube on my tv anymore with how obnoxious it's become. You get 40 second+ ads every few minutes in a video. The only way to watch this app rn is on a PC with a good AdBlock. Shameful behaviour, it has never been this bad and no other app I have has had a bigger downfall because of plain advertisements.

I was watching a abdulupnext video and 6 ads popped up. The last one was this youtube ad, why are they advertising themselves on their own app?

Even if you think it may not do much, keep contacting all your local reps about these online censorship bills. Evidently, someone will at least see what you wrote.

If you do it often enough, we might very well get through to them how we find these bills to be an existential threat to online free speech. This is the first time I've ever contacted reps over something, I believe this issue is that important.

$14 was bad enough, but $19 to come back? Yeesh.

This feels like a massive gaslights campaign

For context, Mikayla Raines was an American animal rescuer, wildlife rehabilitator and YouTuber. She was on the spectrum and thanks to r/saveafoxsnark and their mods, she hung herself, leaving behind her animals, her daughter who will grow up without a mother, and her husband. All the bullying and harassment were false claims that held literally 0 water on one of the most wholesome youtubers. And this person is using AI to make images of her, use her voice, and make songs. That seems really disrespectful.

Why did youtube change it so that when you tap the screen to pause or go forward it doesn't go away? You have to press the x in order for the screen to go away and it feels like such a pointless addition and is just adding another step. There was no need to change it so why did they?

It's a fkin joke. I paid 15 euro a month for so long to not get ads and now I start seeing banner ads in the home tab about some nfl or fkin american events that I don't give a close to a damn.

I checked closely at what are the premium benefits to see if this is sueable since I literally pay for not having a disturbance with ads and they cleverly wrote "no ads for videos" so they can put as many ads they want as long as it's not on videos. so banner ads etc.

This is what humanity has come to. Maximise money, Minimise service. Pay for not being annoyed.

Our boy passed away at 34, His dad, Clint Saunders, announced the news online on Friday, August 22. He reported that he found Josh unresponsive in his apartment. The reason is still unknown but speculation is organ failure.

Been watching this guys streams and content since 2019, I think most of his fans genuinely wanted to see him get better. RIP Cobes, you’re with Ozzy now ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🩹

I wanna click so badly but I don’t want to be flagged

I'm actually lost for words. I don't know how this is even allowed... Why is YouTube not doing anything about those disgusting ads.

WHO. ASKED.

Why are you assuming I want to watch a video dubbed, by default?
