I understand that hosting video and streaming it is an expensive business that has to be paid, even if we ignore all the income Google has racked up by profiling people and (ab)using that to show ads. That said, I wouldn't mind if they had more taste which ads play, in what number and fucking when. Most annoying thing is when the play 3 minute ads on 6 minute video. Not even shittiest TV network does that. And also unskipable ads. These days I skip all, self-promotion and in-video sponsors included.

I am interested in none of these things
I mean, I just get ads for drain cleaner, dog dewormer and metamucil.
I must be boring.
My 6yo gets a ton of ads for insurance, about the same amount as for toys. It's weird.

Looks like the ads worked
I used to get these all the time. Haven't seen one in almost a year now. I wonder what happened for them to so strongly disassociate something with me? I wish I knew so that I could weaponize it.
