Why can't they just place the ad at the beginning of the video, Spotify gives you X free uninterrupted songs to listen to after listening to 1,2 adds. Why can't they just follow that model

No one will even blink at ads on most engaging moments in Youtube videos, in Pornhub ones tho....
Uninstall Gemini! Oh you can't.... Linux phones, this is bullshit!
i just dont use it to look up anything. and disabled thier playstore app, because apparent they also secretely download a spyware app on your phone too.
I don't find Nebula to be an adequate replacement for youtube, but if they ever figure out how to keep me from blocking ads, Ima gonna change my mind.
Use grayjay.app, they have it for desktop too. No ads, sponsorblock built in, and has multiple platforms in one place.

I've met some people who ask why I care so much about not having to see ads. They don't care if there's youtube ads every now and then. At this point they have to care.
So I'm sure this will just cause more people to use Ublock and other ad blocking services if that one fails. Maybe this will cause more people to look into making their own Peertube instances. But who am I kidding, normies usually don't like hosting communities themselves...

The "normies" don't even know what that means. I get this platform is full of techy people and out of touch with the typical technology user, but Holy shit this is on a whole different level.
