Youtube ads finally got me
Youtube ads finally got me
Looks like its over for me and youtube. Being told I cant watch because of an ad blocker.
Where is everyone moving to and using instead of youtube? I will just move to the same place.

Unpopular opinion - The ads aren't that long and content creators deserve to get paid.
I know that doesn't answer your question but I don't think a few seconds of ads is worth leaving a platform over.
Counteropinion:
The Ads are too many, disturb the experience a lot and the creators earn more through other means like patreon or merchandise.
And you acting like 2 unskippable 30 second ads before a 2 minute video is just "a few seconds" shows that you don't watch YouTube a lot.
I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've had to watch a minute worth of ads for two minutes of video
I watch more YouTube than any other type of media.
I know I won't convince you though.
They don't really make much from the YouTube ads though. You might make $2000 if your video hits a million views and chances are that money is going to be split between a crew of people. There is a reason you see all of them having their own does or their own merch or a long list of Patreon subscribers. If you actually want to pay the content creators, buy their stuff or subscribe to them via Patreon.
I remember when YouTube first came out. It wasn't a "career" there were no content creators. People made and uploaded videos because they wanted to. Then ads appeared on channels that were monetised, they got a cut. This I was fine with. Now non monetised channels have ads everyone has ads
