YouTube is a trash can of advertising.

[=(^ ^)=]

It's been so for the past years. Time ago there was a small banner you could "X" it. Now we have at the least 2 advertising before the video that cannot be skipped and one or two at the end.

All of this for a f.a.q.ing video of 45 seconds.

In easy words the advertising is longer than the video itself, and if the video is longer than 10 minuts you do have advertising even in the middle of it, and often it's not the author of the video who puts them there, it's YouTube itself.

But if you pay 10€ per month no more advertising. YouTube is famous only for songs and because that scene from that movie. That's all.

The rest is stupid content video of vloggers who try to look more cool than the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ they say, no big deal.

YT is STILL not profitable.

Well, they keep demonetizing swaths of channels.

And, oddly enough, I find I'm only watching demonetized content on YouTube anymore.

Can you give some samples?

I find it interesting.

To the best of your knowledge; how likely did the people do it to themselves?

A common culprit is copyrighted music. I cannot count how many people when they are small potatoes get away with it in the background and then upon hitting the magic threshold claim unfair surprise.

Now that is one common cause. There could be ???

I get ads for testosterone and I don't know why. :/

But that's only on mobile I use adblock on PC. Haven't figured out mobile yet or I might have asked it here but forgot.

Adblock is better at shutting down the actual ads than blocking the spyware.

That is a big part of it.

Yeah. Ads are just annoying. :/

yt premium will solve this problem

[sleeps]

my case of ads on mobile is straight up furry ads.

[Pierce Dalton]

The whole web is.

Fun fact: I've uninstalled Dead By Daylight and I keep seeing ads from it everywhere. The funny thing is they say "no one escapes this game". And I've never seen these ads before uninstalling the game.

considering how pro-censorship youtube keeps getting every year, i think using an adblocker is an ethical decision.

[Γαῖα]

Back in the late 1990s a group of not realising at the time french kids were more perceptive than they could have imagined when they prophesied among other things that the internet would be reduced to a TV channel.
Sure enough as the years rolled on the adverts crept in followed by censorship.

I know, but the app on mobile for youtube doesn't have adblocker.

Use NewPipe instead. There's also a fork which integrates SponsorBlock if the sponsor sections aggravate you as well.

Censoring to not scare away advertisers only for some people to block ads so advertisers don't get "clicks".

Funny how that works.

All the gun channels I watch have been demonetized because they show guns.

Most of the car channels I watch have been demonetized because they show cars racing on closed tracks.

And a news/history channel I watch was recently demonetized because one of their commentators once said something offensive on his private YouTube channel a few years ago.

The few instances I've seen regarding music copyright have been gameplay channels. The YouTuber was able to edited the video and uploaded it again.

But most of the gameplay channels I watch stopped uploading about a year ago when YouTube decided they were going to run ads on unmonetized channels and keep all the money for themselves.

The US youtube ad experience: (why the ♥♥♥♥ am I getting these if I only watch counter strike videos and Pizza Tower memes)

-Some crappy coomer-bait mobile game
-"Import wife from Serbia" (I am gay and watch content related to LGBT issues on occasion HOW THE ♥♥♥♥ AM I GETTING THESE)
-Some politically charged ad from a dubious local political group funded by outside interests
-Fake anti-virus software
-World of Tanks and World of Warships
