The ads are just out of control. Back when it was one, maybe two, ads that were 10-20s long combined, I was willing to sit through it. Now there are almost always multiple ads concurrent, ads in the middle of the video, ads at the end of the video if it plays all thr way through, then ads again before the next video plays.
Bring it back to a single ad at the beginning of the video and give me a variety of ads so it isn’t the same 3 over and over, and I’ll sit and watch it.
You could build a successful service that brought in $1 million a month from happy users treated ethically, but there will always be an insatiable psycopath whispering “if we sold our user data, we could make a extra $100k each month”.
So one ad becomes two. Users are tracked and the information sold. Algorithms are created to make services as addictive as possible, because “one more video” turns into “4 more ads”.
However many apologists may post about poor, destitute Google being unable to feed their children because people aren’t watching enough ads, we’re absolutely correct to oppose that endless creeping.
There is always another sleazy way to manipulate people out of money. Companies need to learn to accept that their tens of millions of dollars profit are enough.
