YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto

I’m actually looking to start a YouTube channel, but I don’t know if I should even bother since YouTube seems to be going out of its way to try to kill itself
Just cross post to a couple different hosters.

You weren't blocking ads before?
Ive been blocking youtube ads for like a year now. But when it was like one or two minutes every 10-20 I didn't mind watching on an app that didn't have ad block. It got worse and I got fed up.

AdNauseum. Not only does it block ads but it also fucks with advertisers by sending false clicks that cost them money.
It will continue until it overshoots TV and they're all 3x more ad than vid.

It's not. Alphabet is already making billions off our data. Just use uBlock or ReVanced or whatever and don't shovel more money into their greedy pockets.
What would happen if all users start using adblockers, or the value of ads starts to fall?
I do not support the current, ad-driven, model of the internet. However, since the costs of subscriptions are increasing, while salaries are going downhill, it is apparent that ads is (seemingly) the only viable choice for now.
In the economy we currently live in, all of world's wealth is slowly moving to ad networks.
Even donation driven models are currently straggling. Just look at the fediverse. The people donating to their instances are not enough to sustain them.
Capitalism has absolutely destroyed everything. The greed of stakeholders has milked most people. At some point people will stop buying the useless things or services promoted via advertisements, just because they will not be able to afford them. Then, no subscriptions, no point of advertising, no donators, no people hosting fediverse instances, just world hunger.

Do other services! Like Peertube and then mirror videos on youtube and odyssey so you still get traction

Not the previous commenter but on mobile, a good few years ago I didnt block ads i didnt mind something skippable or a short interruption but they were just that very short and not in the way. I started going out of my way to block ads when they abused it

I guess I need someone to explain it to me, because they even fixed their typo.

Well because an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, i dont base my actions on how poorly someone else has acted. I just try and do the right thing.

And if they have your data, they didnt steal it, you signed it over or they bought it from someone you signed it over to, personal data is rarely stolen, mostly just handed off and then people act like they put a gun to their head to get it.

I read that Google is rolling out some ads on premium so that might need to get removed from your list.
