Intrusive and sneaky ads like the ones on YouTube should be heavily regulated if not illegal.
Edit: especially ads louder than the average content volume, repetitive jingles designed to get stuck in your head, billboards, and ads thrown in the middle of the video you’re watching
Sounds like you haven't watched a lot of free to air tv haha
Luckily all that is prosecutable by Ofcom here so it very rarely happens.
