I swear I'm about done with YT. The ads are long, overabundant, irrelevant, and timed specifically to fuck with people in the middle of specific segments of content. I mean, I keep getting ads for Oppenheimer for the past four days. I already own Oppenheimer - and Google knows this. My Google account is linked to my MoviesAnywhere account, they have this information. What is the point of "targeted" advertisements if they net the advertiser zero value? Is Google just messing with users trying to block their ads at this point?

Haven't seen ads in ages... Firefox on linux with uBlock origin.

Also, Firefox Nightly with uBlock on Android, and Piped as frontend for YouTube anyway.
