YouTube Ads Are Non-Negotiable

I will NEVER watch ads on Youtube under ANY circumstances. Even if they are 5 seconds. Iga flying fuck. >Ad comes on, no skip button. >Press information button to block ad or report ad to skip it. >Ad doesn't have it. >Close out video, open it again, same ad, only 5 seconds, “nope”, close out video. >Rinse and repeat 20 times because I really want to see this video. >End up wasting 50x the amount of time than if I just watched the fucking ad. >5 minutes later, same ad comes on, can’t skip. >Finally fucking give up. >Say “well I guess you just don’t want me to watch your video.” >Leave No ads, ever, non-negotiable.

A frustrated viewer repeatedly closes and reopens a YouTube video to avoid a five-second unskippable advertisement. The joke is that stubbornly refusing to watch the ad wastes far more time than simply enduring it, turning ad avoidance into an absurd act of self-sabotage.
