The ad revenue YouTube gets should be paying the content creators, no?
Yes, sure, I just don't want to watch ads. There is really too much of them
I agree. I guess I don’t watch YouTube enough for it to be a big burden. Just mute it for a few seconds.
If it was only few seconds. At best you can skip after 5s but then you get plenty of 15-50s ads every 5+ minutes or so with some videos. It makes it almost impossible to watch it.
