Why would you spend any amount of time at all on a website that you’ve observed to serve known fraud ads for more than a week or two (and hasn’t sacked their advertising provider)?

Because its a monopoly?

Its name is youtube.

And For the record, I am already using ad blockers but on some very rare occasions on when I don't somehow, its absolutely nightmare

  • So then how would your complaints be meaningful?

    Have you identified some way for youtube to lose it’s monopoly status?

    • It should be split from Google, same as Chrome. Google's adtech arm is largely the reason YouTube is so toxic nowadays

If you actually lived your life like this you wouldn’t be on any website other than Wikipedia. Surely you don’t _actually_ live your life like this despite your tone that suggests it would be crazy to live your life any other way?

  • most of the time I have an adblocker so I rarely see ads on internet, but I am a little pissed when I see them. Makes me show the reality that all we are is a number to these sites. Something my brain doesn't like.
