I just tried to look up a specific video of a Nick Swardson stand up bit. All I searched was “Nick Swardson loitering”. There were 5 fucking ads before an actual user posted video, then one real human posted video that barely had anything to do with Nick, then 5 more fucking ads.

I knew they were forcing ads into videos but clogging the entire search feed with ads is unfuckingbelievable.

Is this really what it’s come to? Ads are more important than what I’m actually looking for? Are people really okay with this?

    If on a computer, install ublockorigin.

    If on android, get revanced.

    Enjoy not seeing ads at all.

      PC user with AdBlock for YouTube on both Edge and Firefox. Game. Changed.

      LOL, I was a little stunned going to YouTube when I moved to Firefox. “What is all this crap!?” thankfully they had the same extension.

      I started getting the odd server side injected ads. Refreshing the page usually works to skip it.
