Getting to the point where it's just not worth using YouTube. It's good for me because I had stopped reading somehow; I used to read loads.

Eight ads in five minute video and I think fuck that.

I'm not going to join the subscription economy either: Every film/video producer wants a tenner a month for only their content. No-one has a majority. That's far far more than I was paying before by going to the cinema, even with the £20 popcorn!

Nice. Such a great feature. Watching video is just boring, it's so much more relaxing and enjoyable de watch ads constantly. I actually stopped watching movies and videos, I'm always on the lookout for a good ad. They should make an app where it's only ads, actually they should charge for that too, subsription for having the opportunity to watch ads all day. AI will save us all.

Compelling in the sense of forceful not in the sense of persuasive.
