My biggest problem with the ads is that it's louder than the thing I'm watching, oftentimes a lot.
They are sometimes an hour long and I gotta press the skip ad button with my nose cause it'll take me ten minutes or more to clean up.
I have no love for the automatic gadgets where you can speak your commands. They get suggested by my coworkers quite a bit.
They want too much for what is ultimately hours of people playing chess.
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻Theyre also blatant scams. Whenever I accidentally open youtube on my phone when clicking a link the ad is literally claims of free money using ai voices of celebrities, “cures” for blindness that are selling watered down bleach, and other scams
Yeah any time I scroll through YT Shorts (Revanced doesn't block those ads rn) 99+% of the ads are just the "This new government program gives everyone $6400/month trust this bad AI voice of Steve Harvey." scams.
