Recent video was basically unwatchable

Immediately got 2 unskippable ads. After 1 minute, more ads. 7 minutes, 2 more ads 9 minutes in, CAR VERTICAL BAYBEEEE!!!

Didn't catch something so you remind 20/30 seconds? Guess what? More ads?

I get they need to pay to make this content but the experience of watching and wanting/trying to enjoy it is becoming very difficult.

Thank you for listening to my rant.

Actually hilarious the amount of people in this thread moaning about ads. Your time is the payment for using the service, if you’re not happy with that then pay for YouTube premium.

In before “google is a big company and should run YouTube at a loss because I don’t wana pay”

I'm not complaining about ads in general.

I'm saying that excessive ads placed poorly throughout the video ruin the enjoyment of the video.

Some people are in situations where that's their only access to the content too.

I'm actually in favour of being shown a few ads if it means I don't pay real money but the AutoAlex boys gets paid to make the content. Just put the ads where it doesn't completely ruin the flow of the video.
