The Web Browser ***Brave ***blocks YT ads. I just had occasion to use it this past week. I almost always don’t have the patience for a 15 second ad so will usually just not bother with watching at all… but once in a while a worthy vid appears. So a vid came up, had the 15 sec. Stopped, decided I could put up w/ it, went back AND NOW IT’S a MINUTE & 30 SECONDS AD??? And another one for 2 MINUTES & 40 SECONDS? (are they on drugs or what?) So went off to see what I could find to ignore YT ADs with. ***Brave ***worked. Brave will not become my default browser but I’ll keep it around. I suspect that YT may have hired and/or been corrupted by Broadcast Executives. Last I knew TV was up to 12 minutes of ads per hour.
Note, I think advertising is great when its does the job it’s designed for but when one’s reaction is “Screw That!” I’m taking my eyeballs, attention, & wallet elsewhere it’s a bigtime fail.
