I actually didn't care when there was an ad in the beginning of the video or what not. It was when I had to start watching multiple ads in the middle of a 10 minute video as well. Like come on, not even broadcast TV is that annoying.
-
Shorts are such a stupidly blatant way to start showing more ads than content, and they make navigating channels impossible. Hell you can't even get away from ads in search results with premium.
-
Shorts are just a TikTok clone...
-
Which is just a Vine clone.
-
Which is funny because Vine failed to sufficiently monetize and shut down...
In any case the point is shorts weren't designed from the ground up as some way for YouTube to squeeze more ads in out of some "diabolical laboratory of Google." Shorts were designed to compete with an existing product.

Noaw I understand why so many people hate shorts! I never use the official app or browser to watch, so I don't see the advertisements.

SponsorBlock addon

The holy trinity: ublock origin, sponsorblock and dearrow. Using all of them makes YT great again.
-
haven't heard of dearrow, what does that do?

You know those videos with a crazy thumbnail and title? You know, some stupid idiot BS clickbait nonsense like guy wrestling with a crocodile, but in reality that frame doesn’t even exist anywhere in the video. Oh, and then there’s the big red arrow and a wild title like: A CROCODILE BIT MY HEAD OFF!!!!111!!!!
Well, dearrow can fix all that. Users can select are more representative frame for the thumbnail and write a better title such as: “collection of random cat videos stolen from other people”. People get to vote on which thumbnail and which title text should be there, while dearrow shows that to the next person. If you care about cat videos, you might click that one. If you’re more interested in crocodile wrestling, you won’t be deceived to click something you don’t want to watch.

Adding an insane amount of ads is a dark pattern to convince you into joining Youtube Premium. Which is crazy expensive by the way, 13,99 $/month
-
Premium will eventually show ads too.
-
Absolutely. Infinite growth demands more and more. Always. Fuck the customer, increase shareholder value this quarter!
-
"Tired of ads? Upgrade to YouTube Premium PLUS to get rid of all ads!"
-
-
Honestly I bought YouTube premium through a VPN to turkey for that price for the entire year. Seems worth it.
-
I mostly wanted YouTube Music for my bedroom speaker, but if they're throwing in ad-free YouTube along with it, so be it.
-
AD Free YouTube is great tbh, it is generally a good experience no matter what device you use then throw in the claim it supports the content creators more seems like win win

Same here. I was listening to a beautiful violin piece being played by a soloist and an ad interrupted it. I would be fine with watching the ad before. I immediately went and watched it elsewhere.
Later, I came back to YouTube for something unrelated and had a message/popup that said 'tired of being interrupted? Upgrade to premium here!'
They know exactly what they are doing, trying to make it unbearable to use anything other than premium. They can get fucked.
-
Or the knack of starting the add 2 seconds into a guitar solo...
-
Normal TV is infuriating enough that I can’t be bothered to watch any of that stuff. Watching videos on a computer is just so much nicer. If TV broadcasting stopped tomorrow and everyone around me was in a conspiracy of hiding it from me, it could take me years to find out.
YouTube has been going downhill for many years now, and there have been many incremental steps towards becoming as bad as TV. If they take that final step, I’ll start treating YT the same way I treat TV.
