These ads make it impossible to use YT as a free learning platform anymore.
When I want to dig into a subject, I want to do it focused and without being distracted, and YT makes it impossible. The only content one can tolerate ads on is entertainment, which makes YT just another TikTok.
Then pay for your learning ;)
Call me a dirty communist but I think education should be accessible to all regardless of socio-economic status.
A well educated population is better for Democracy, better for the human species and society.
I agree with you, dirty communist.
I am also a dirty communist named Bort
HI Bort welcoe to dirt-loving communists
I completely agree, but that's what a government is for.
Your original post definitely implied that it's the individuals burden.
Where I come from, education is free. So, nope!
YouTube is free as well ;)
Time is money. Ain't nobody got time for YT ads
That's just called entitlement.
I'm sorry, let me whip out the world's tiniest violin for one of the world's most powerful tech giants.
No, you're just ignoring reality and circle jerking.

Or that could be the number one thing that the government subsidizes, instead of how to kill more people. Learning should be the first thing that's free after food, water, and shelter.
