This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
At this point, I don't even care about the user tracking. I just don't want to sit through unskippable ads anymore. Especially when it's the same ad over and over again.
Well then you're in luck, you have a lot of options for removing ads before giving money to YouTube.
