The problem isn't ads, it's how obnoxious they've gotten with ads. Full length ads without even a skip button, ads in the beginning, ads in the middle. Have you tried using Google without blockers or news websites? It's obnoxious how ads are just fucking everywhere. These companies aren't hurting for money, they're still making a massive amount of profit. They just want even more profit next year. Not to mention you even have people here actually using Youtube Premium who are still seeing ads under the videos. Zero sympathy.
