Too many ads, deleted youtube app and started using browser with adblocker

Youtube started showing too many ads, something has changed. For every video mostly I have to watch two ads back to back. That’s ridiculous. Previously I used to wait for 5 seconds to press skip ads button but the company has gotten greedy and showing too many non skipable ads. Got tired of it, so deleted the app on ios and started using safari mobile browser with adblocker. App experience is much better but there is no way I would watch 15 sec ads for every video I click. What are your thoughts? Are you experiencing this and what you guys do about it? #googleads

YouTube is much better. FB literally has my friends post inserted between ad’s. I mean every alternate post is an ad 😤

This is because they are morons and can't figure out any new way of monitizing

Because of the ridiculous 2 back to back ads for even the shortest of videos, I have stopped browsing random videos. Their greed will make sure they get less and less ad revenue from me over the course of each year.

Your time saved from 15 min of ads a day is worth more than the 5 bucks a month or whatever. Unless it's not

Youtube ads are becoming way too frequent. If a video doesn’t allow me to skip the ad, I just close that video. Life is too short anyway as I am in Amazon...

The funny thing is, it's the youtube channels who are responsible for attaching as many ungodly ads as possible. They have no respect for the end viewer experience
