There have been some times where all my efforts failed and YouTube still showed me an ad. I realised that i'd rather not watch the video than the ad.

If I can't skip a video ad, and I really want to see the content, I simply make note of the advertiser and never buy anything from them.

I've switched insurance companies because the one I had was wasting my time advertising to me.

I think of it that advertising costs money, and that gets passed on to the consumer. So the bigger the advertising budget the higher the final price.

Word of mouth is free.
