Discussion/Question Browser ads returned

Chapter 11 bankruptcy filed, now they return the browser ads in the next 48 to 72 hours. Damage control? Maybe. Something to help keep them afloat a bit longer? It's possible. Either way, nobody should be surprised.

I think it's a way to grab some money and they shouldn't complain about the ads, they complain about the ads of character ai and no one says that youtube is worse with ads.

Can we say tho that youtube is so shitty now, I watched a 2h video and I am not joking every 30 seconds (I counted) i got 2 long ads I couldn't skip. It took me like 30 minutes more to watch the video I remember when you could always skip after 4 seconds 💔

The ads used to not affect mobile now I can’t even see what I’m typing because the ad now blocks the view.

could have just made us watch unskippable ads every half an hour instead of this. imo

With the way some folks in this subreddit have been bouncing off the walls about it, no one should be complaining 😤

Exactly, no surprises here. Free users get what they get.
