I don't really know how people can even use YouTube without ad blockers. Sitting through minutes of advertisement is not going to make me want to buy your product if I start mentally associating your product with frustration and annoyance. If these video ads are going to be repetitive and annoying, at least make them funny.
It seems like there is nowhere on the Internet to get away from ads currently, even here, where you thought you are safe, you are now reading an ad for my newest movie (you know the one), now also available on streaming!
I really don’t know how people can ever use YouTube.
people say "yeah i stayed up too late last night, I went down a youtube rabbithole you know?" and I'm like No! I actually don't know! How the fuck are you watching crap on youtube for hours??
What I don’t get, is that people whine and bitch on every post about YouTube doing stupid shit to fuck over the content creators, and then when it’s suggested that they stop using YouTube, it’s:
”NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo! Not my precious U-Toobs!”
i watch too many video essays and im a music junkie so i go down music rabbit holes. different strokes for different folks i guess
