Let me add to that: Ads are a cancer and advertisers are the carcinogen
This is the way.
Ads are not just cancer, on YouTube they're also fucking scams, the ones claiming to be mr.beast and those that promises free vbucks comes to mind. Ads as a service needs to die, it's an over-abused market with no real value.
Amen brother. Ads are cancer. Except for tiny indie-devs or such who will never get enough moneyz by donation alone. There i could tolerate it, knowing I'm worthless to any advertiser anyway. They just waste their money.
