I have no problem watching a ad for a video but when I have to watch an ad just to see if I am interested in watching the video is where I draw the line. Forced ads before the video starts is the worst. Give me a min or two before forcing an ad. If I am looking for help for a particular issue I don't want to watch ads after ad while trying to gauge the video.
I get what you're saying but I've reached a point in my life where I really don't give a shit and there is absolutely no way I'm watching ads. I'm also not paying google for anything they offer.
