The only time in my life I have ever seen ads on youtube is when I've watched videos on someone else's computer or through "smart" TVs.
I am genuinely shocked that anyone puts up with it. Then again, I get it, not everybody knows how to get around it, and, more importantly, they are working very hard and will succeed at eliminating the possibility to circumvent it.
It's even worse - you can set it up for them, and one minor inconvenience later they're back to how they used it before, ads and all. A lot of people truly don't seem to care.
I learned if you report an ad for being offensive it cancels all the ads after as well as ending the current ad immediately. And it just takes an extra 2 seconds and 3 clicks. Works on smart tvs, phones, and my Xbox.
I don’t even feel like I’m lying because ads inherently are offensive to me.
