If you've ever wondered why YouTube goes so hard on ads when they make the experience so miserable, well, there's your answer.

    Shit tons of people are paying for it. And the ones that aren’t, are viewing ads- both of these things are a profit for YouTube.

    The only option you have is to not use the services at all. This is how you hurt them.

      Nope. I don’t pay for it, and I don’t get ads.

          The day I’m forced to watch YouTube ads is the day I never use it again

            At the end of the day, we’d all be better off if everyone just never used it again, because as long as people put up with what they do- the more they’ll do it.
