The YouTube ads are out of control I had 11 ads in a row that have fake skip buttons. Got out of the 11 ads and back into another 4 ads after 5 minutes of the video. This is on Roku I'm getting so many ads. I'm fine with 3 ads in a video. Just needed to rant about this. - ThreadSky

Damn its bad everywhere???

I have had 15 to 20 min ads on YouTube. I know it's diff from Roku, for sure, but it's like...damn. we really doing this rn???

I feel like this is punishment for using the Roku work around that doesn't work anymore for Roku. Where you clear your Google Ad id would glitch it out and show you less ads but now it seems like it's just giving me more and more to a point I just don't want to watch YouTube videos anymore.

Ahh, okay. So like the punishment of "breaking the system" okay, yeah that's what people have also been saying.

Can't leave a human to watch something alone without countless ads 🫠

You know it's bad when I have more ads on YouTube than Hulu with ads. I feel bad because I would watch the ads because I'm used to cable TV but there is a point where 11 max length ads is too much. I had one ad that was basically a full video at that point with one of those stupid fake skip buttons.

I like watching stream VODs but when I get 11 ads every 5 minutes it's hard to keep up with what's happening. One of my favorite things was to have YouTube videos as background noise of something like kittens playing or nature sounds just to get jump scared by the loudest Walmart ad.
