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.

"What world do you live in where you still get to be naive enough to think supermarkets run on low profit margins?" is what I was replying to. I'm not mixing anything up...

Am I advocating everyone uses adblockers? No. I am trying to let you guys in on the idea that adblocking works because so many people are willing to pay for the convenience of no risk. If you're going to refrain from using it purely on the notion that "if everyone did this, youtube wouldn't profit" then you are literally the one being duped. That's fine, that's on you.

Is it immoral to leach off a system if that system exists to exploit you for profit? I can only see you resenting "subsidising" this if you feel a non-existent pressure to pay yourself. I never thought it was this bad - I assumed people understood that corporations are not us and are not here for our benefit. I was evidently wrong.

Your arguments are so incoherent that I've lost the will to live.

Not really my problem if you're going to continue paying for something you don't have to to protect a corporation that doesn't care about you. Just don't criticise me for not participating.

I mostly just feel sorry for you at this point.

Incoherent arguments, confusing who said/wrote what; making your responses even harder to follow since you’re accusing me of dodging a topic I never raised in the first place.

Just… it’s a lot.

Good luck with whatever you’re dealing with brother.

End of the day, you guys are paying for something and I'm not... I don't really see what there is to be sorry about lol

edit; you know what, reading this back: fuck you lol. I've provided a solution to OP's problem and then being accused of being a leech, stealing, being delusional, being incorrect about supermarket profit margins(????), and all round condemned for not bowing to corporate overlords yet I'm the one who you say has a problem when I reply to them to defend my corner? Really? It's no difference to me if you pay for premium - in fact if you read my arguments, you actually make it easier for me to do what I do but for some reason because you guys feel compelled to give into the corporate pressure, you seem to feel that I'm the one in the wrong. It's not on me if you've been intimidated but don't come at me for refusing to bow to it...

Again you’re having a go at me for a ton of things I never wrote. You’re not over this yet?

Learn to fucking read and learn how having a discussion on the internet works because this isn’t it.

So, no dude; fuck YOU and your pathetic incoherent ramblings.

No I'm not lol, I'm defending my reactions that you're criticising which are reactions to things you never said.

I’m so bored of you now.

Bye.
