It is unreasonable to have unskip-able 15sec ads on 5 second long meme videos like plankton farts and dies

I got a smart TV for my wife recently and I overheard her watching videos in the other room about some weird "natural" diet pill medicine the other day. Thought it was weird of her to be watching that, until I walked in ten minutes later and it turns out she just fell asleep watching YouTube on the TV and there was an HOUR LONG AD of this weird quack medicine playing. The absolute greed of YT to not only punish adblockers, and allow weird and potentially harmful shit to be shown in ads, but to make them an hour long, is just nuts lmao.

Making social media and video sites worse and more annoying to use is probably the best thing these companies can do for us.

Love how youtube took all that time and energy to figure out how to block the adblockers but never figured out how to make the volume of the ads match the volume of the video you're watching so you're not suddenly having your eardrums blown out while listening to something to help you sleep

[turkturkelton]

He never watches ads. What an absolute legend

[naterksmr]

YouTube: *Claims to be family-friendly*
Also YouTube: *Forces you to watch ads*
Also YouTube: *Allows ads for literal porn games*

As an ublock origin user, I will jump through hoops for 15 mins to get rid of a 15 sec ad.

[LemarSullivan]

there's always a way to bypass youtube's anti-adblock

otherwise I wouldn't be watching this video

[XeniaChow]

Imagine banning Ad Blockers but not SSSniperwolf ☹️☹️☹️

[level]

Idgaf how many times I have to reload the video, I will watch the content with no ads for pure spite factor.

[baileeparkes]

This video is perfectly timed for me. I wouldn’t know what you were talking about a week ago but my friend just recently urged me to get adblock for the first time - only for Youtube to immediately crack down on adblockers two days later. It was great while it lasted, I guess

[Cabbie]

Thanks to this I actually just spent an afternoon with my parents. They seem to be pretty nice people.

Adblock users are the most resilient community. We always find a way no matter what. It's not even about convenience anymore. It's about principle.

[benanderson]

User: "I'm being doxxed, help."

YouTube: "Hang on, some kid's watching a CPR tutorial while using adblock."

[frankpavey]

YouTube doubles down on pushing short videos, then counter attacks itself by making you watch an ad twice as long as those short videos

[andyb]

YouTube: "Watch ads so your favorite YouTubers can get paid"

Also YouTube: **demonetizes/suppresses my favorite YouTubers for talking about world events**

[OrigionalCigarette]

I find it amazing that instead of looking into *why* people use adblockers, they just decide to ban adblockers

[almond]

"Y'know what would spruce this site up? Making things MORE user-hostile!"

*YouTube boardroom claps uproariously*

[SharkyShocker]

When Youtube holds advertisers to the same restrictions they do content creators, I'll consider removing ad block.

[MrX-uncz]

the fact that just by coincidence, when YouTube went alright no more adblock they also increased the price of YouTube premium
incredible coincidence btw, definitely not screaming we want money
