I blocked your ads because I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING SEE THEM.
Advertisers are some of the most entitled fucking people in the entire world, thinking they have a God-given right to demand everyone watch their obnoxious bullshit. They know people hate their ads. They know nobody wants to see them. They know they're imposing them on us against our will. But they keep fucking doing it.
Joke's on you, though. I can just use a third party converter to download the videos I really want. If I use Google to search Youtube I don't even have to go to the site, much less watch an ad.
it's been a couple months, i have a very old account and i've been using it with adblockers of one kind or other since they've had ads on the site and i've never gotten this new nagging thing.
it's being rolled out in stages. started a few months ago and seems to be accelerating now.
