| mjk45 said: The one that annoys me is after sitting through the first ad and enduring the lottery of whether or not the second ad is skippable, you find that the content starts halfway through but going back to the beginning most times means enduring those ads again even when moving back you make sure to stop before the point where the initial ads finished. |
There has been one thing bugging the crap out of me now for around a year, but I didn't think to tell anyone until now.
Any time I use the Youtube app on my phone (it's old, but not Nokia levels of ancient), everything loads up fine, especially when searching, however, the moment I click on the first video of the day/opening the app, I get a 5 second ad in my face and it feels like they made damn sure I couldn't swipe away the video to prevent the ad from getting more than 2 seconds out of my time.
Second annoying thing is, even if I close that vid, the moment I start up a new one, there's 2 ads in a row, making a total of 3 ads. Also, because I don't like YT knowing my exact location (or my phone for that matter), it will eventually play some random 60 fucking minute Chinese ad that lasts far longer than most content I watch on youtube (unless it's a documentary vid or LoFi).
I swear Google is doing this on purpose with the laggy vids at the start of the app being used for the day, because this happens every time without fail (even tried clearing cache and cookie data and it still happens, even clearing the phone's memory to see if the phone was low on ram).
At this point Google just sees Youtube as cable tv and ad central, where we're not allowed to hear swear words or "bad words" in general, yet we have to endure ad upon ad, unless we resort to ad blocking and even then they actively combat against that, which means they are acting visibly hostile towards the viewer (God I wish they were taken to court for that alone and raked over the coals).
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
