However bad they may make it, it can't possibly be worse than it is for non-adblock users.
But hey, if they want to torpedo their own services, have at it. It's not like they have a reputation for it or anything....
About a week ago YouTube rolled out a new interface for ads. I cannot skip 90% of ads now. Many are around a minute in length. Always 2 ads at the beginning of every video, even if it's only 10 seconds in length. Always 2 ads at the end of every video.
I'm not getting that many ads. Could I see the new interface?
i am more worried about the old videos wipe thats coming soon
Sooo many peoples uploaded memories and documentaries are going to becone lost forever
I wonder why they would kill old videos instead of just removing those 10-hour plus loops of the same song over and over again that nobody watches. You'd think those giant loop videos would be taking up far more space.
I tend to fall asleep to one of those videos of being on the beach with ocean sounds, so /shrug.
