YouTube ads are so bad · 5:22pm Aug 15th, 2021
"Watch League of Legends videos offline, ad-free, and in the background. Start a trial of YouTube Premium Today."
Now I'm mad for several reasons.
1. I hate consumerism! I hate consumerism! Specifically, I refuse to give money to a corporation as horrible as YouTube and Google.
2. After a brief trial in 2019, I refused to let it happen again. I've already said no to it many times. Apparently for corporations, no doesn't mean no.
3. I refuse to get an ad-free experience because I have Adblock on the computers. I was watching a vid on mobile.
4. How dare they insinuate I like League of Legends!
*laughs in Roblox scam ads*
You speak for us all, Brady.
If you’re already mad about it now; then you really don’t wanna know how bad it can get for content creators
You have spoken the one thing we all hate when it comes to YouTube...the all time annoying useless ADS
!
I despise league of legends with a passion

I'm not a content creator, but I have a pretty good idea. Copyright claims, a moderately successful video at best for most of them, making sure your vids are long enough for ad revenue, but not so long that people don't watch them. Most people take one of three paths in the YouTube content skill tree: gaming channels, commentary channels, and list channels. Either that or you sell your soul to YouTube Kids. And once a channel reaches 1 mil subs, they either create terrible music, fade into obscurity, get accused of being a racist, become a company shill, or become a pedophile.
On the occasion that you actually do have something legitimately impressive to offer the world, you have to navigate the entirety of YouTube to make them known and seen in The Algorithm. What if no one watches? You need to find your niche, but everything that can be done pretty much already has. For example, if people want a cheeseburger, and their options are McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, and 10,000 individual small burger joints, chances are, they will go to the first three mentioned restaurants. Why would people want to take a chance with you when there's someone more popular out there that has done the exact same thing?
I actually like to try out LOL what the… what
BUT YT ADS CAN GET F[Non family friendly words uttered] AND GET SCREWED

YouTube’s biggest problem stems from that they want to have a Social Media platform while operating like a Private Media business.

And you know what, I’d be fine with the ads, what bothers me is how many times the same ad plays OVER AND OVER, I once had 2 weeks where I got nothing but THE SAME VERIZON AD FOR 2 WEEK, IM STILL SO INFURIATED BY IT
