I get 1 to 3 ads a week on YouTube

There’s your problem right there. I’m so close to finally dumping YT. It’s annoying af the number of ads. Every video now. Every single one.

I'm pretty damn close. There are a lot of people I follow on there and I even used to be an advocate for YouTube premium when it first came out. These days I'm all about ad block, sponsor block, and avoiding it when you can. I'd rather support the people I want through other means and not give YouTube any money.
