    I never had an issue with YT’s 1-2 skipable ads at the beginning, or even the banner ad. But they got greedy.

    The midrolls and the unskipable ads was the trigger point for me.

      I was fine with even having a couple very short unskippable ads every other video. Now it is all of them with one in the middle of videos longer than 5 minutes. And then of course the content creator has to put in an ad because YouTube does not pay shit for views.

      I mean, they didn’t get greedy, as far as everyone knows they are losing a ton of money (at least if you can extrapolate anytbing from the fact that twitch is massively unprofitable)

        If they want to, they can go 100% paywalled. But I guess people like to conveniently forget that YouTube wants to double-dip.
