The only time in my life I have ever seen ads on youtube is when I've watched videos on someone else's computer or through "smart" TVs.
I am genuinely shocked that anyone puts up with it. Then again, I get it, not everybody knows how to get around it, and, more importantly, they are working very hard and will succeed at eliminating the possibility to circumvent it.
I learned if you report an ad for being offensive it cancels all the ads after as well as ending the current ad immediately. And it just takes an extra 2 seconds and 3 clicks. Works on smart tvs, phones, and my Xbox.
I don’t even feel like I’m lying because ads inherently are offensive to me.
It's even worse - you can set it up for them, and one minor inconvenience later they're back to how they used it before, ads and all. A lot of people truly don't seem to care.
