This seems like a spectacular way to get people to stop watching YouTube

I was wondering why the ads increased tenfold on YouTube. It is horrible.

Use Vivaldi browser. No ads. Same as Chrome but no ads.

Correction: AI is going to be putting the ads at the most inconvenient times.

YouTube REALLY wants to keep their status as one of the biggest laughing stocks of the internet, huh...

Ah yes, so when the most interesting moment of the video happens, the part people DON'T WANT INTERRUPTED AT ALL, they're going to do that anyways with AI to boot so there's basically no manual accountability or oversight keeping watch of it I don't see this back firing A T A L L

The point is that you end up so fed up with invasive advertising that you end up paying the premium.

It is amazing really, they have completely fucked up the entire platform attempting to force ads on people and they have ended up further from success than ever before. They’ve lost the majority of the community support they’d earned over the years, undermined security for everybody and lost money.

I am reminded of Wile E. Coyote or perhaps Elmer Fudd. Going with the latter given the companies track record with overtly racist bullshit.

download UBlock Origin. blocks all YT ads and bypasses their anti-adblock measures.

I tried downloading and it says I have to update my browser first. But for some stupid reason, I can’t. I’m using a ChromeOS btw.

Can’t do it on chrome. Try another browser if it’s possible. Works on Firefox

It definitely has to be the browser. Because I downloaded “Bring back dislikes” on it a year ago.

Sounds like a formula to get viewers to turn off their favorite platform. Shooting themselves in the knee to get a couple more cents out of people.

Yup. Had no problem with a single ad on a video but now it's a preroll ad, two midroll ads, an ad read by the host, an endslate ad, with an ad at the bottom of the video, and graphic ads to the side, underneath, and within the recommendations. All for an minute video.
