Ah YouTube, the site where I watch a video that tells me in ten minutes what I could read in one. And only 5 advertisements!
Oops, six. I forgot the ad the creator slipped in between minute 1 and 2.
How can you possibly forget the mid-video ad read that is actually a part of the video, thus unblockable?
I mean, if it is an ad that actually directly gets the video creator paid, I’m not even mad about those, especially when it’s quality content. Not a fan of those who just take common searches for questions online and create a long video to explain the answer when it should have just stayed as a stackoverflow question and answer or something.
+1 to InternetHistorian's ads, the only channel where I purposely don't skip over the ads even if I know I'm never gonna actually get said product
