It’s frustrating that YouTube is making it harder to skip ads now. Feels like they’re just trying to trick users into watching more ads by hiding the skip button. It’s definitely going to annoy a lot of people, especially if it becomes the norm.

ads make increasingly less money as more and more people circumvent them. either pay content creators + premium or watch ads. (inb4 jobless NEETs attack me)

Every ad on YouTube is another product that I will actively shun. I will deliberately purchase an alternative.

I deleted YouTube off my phone after that, it feels weird not being able to watch short videos but screw their greediness

Shitty monopoly to its customers:
“Hahahaha what are you going to do? Install adblocker? We own the browsers”

Getting closer to YouTube turning on the front camera and making sure we aren’t looking away while the ad is playing.

This is merely to get you used to not seeing a skip button, so that eventually they’ll eliminate it entirely….it will be gradual and extend to only appearing after the whole ad has played and then no skippable ads.
And still they want us to not try to pirate their services. Not everyone can or want another subscription service.

I’d like to think of companies going public is similar to that restaurant scene in goodfellas where the owner decided to partner up with the mob, it doesn’t matter what he does now, he has to come up with Paulie’s money every week (or in this case, the shareholders every quarter), people not engaging with the new algorithm? Fuck you pay me. Ads are running for too long? Fuck you pay me. People are building Adblock extensions? Fuck you pay me! Once every good feature, resource and marketing strategy has ran dry, Google would sell them to the next bidder to acquire them.
However they are too big to fail and the only long-form video distributor that anyone really goes to so we’re probably gonna have to deal with their shenanigans for a few more decades

Clickbait title, per the animation in the article they are not showing the countdown. The skip button still appears when you can skip.

I noticed on my work computer I can’t watch videos unless I sign in… I’m not going to sign into YouTube on my work computer.

TLDR: Skip ads button.
