2/ YouTube's been experimenting with ads that play while your video is paused
They won't be happy until they make ad money off of breathing.
Over the last few months they have increased ads so much, that my usage of YouTube is significantly less. It's too annoying. I had a 30 second no-skip ad for 7 second clip the other day. I already didn't use it as much as others.
Hopefully more fediverse platforms expand content.
@paul When I see these, I can't help wonder: would it be better if like HBO, there was no free service, only paid subscriptions?
Doesn't some of the ad money go to creators of the video?
I pay for ad free access to other platforms that have ad free plans.
I don't object to ads. I object to spending 30 minutes on YouTube and getting 15 to 20 ads. The ads used to be more moderately timed. They ratcheted it up the recently.
Some creators do get monetized. They tweaked who could and couldn't several years ago.
