The number of articles I’ve read about people becoming millionaires from life coaching has also got me questioning the state of the world.
I mean, you gotta admire how they move, tho. Get the world addicted to a video sharing platform and once they are thoroughly addicted choke the ever living crap out of their wallet.

YouTube now is...
15s ad at the start of the vid
Then two 6 second ads at the 15s mark
Then two 6 second ads at the 30s mark
Then two 6 second ads at the 45s mark
Then two 6 second ads at the 60s mark
Then two 6 second ads at the 75s mark
If the video is say, a 10 minute vid... they still to the same thing every 15 seconds, except the ads are 15s long instead of two 6s ads.
YouTube is unbearable now.
I have found a way round them though.
Post the vid link to myself in a PM, in a third party server. Say Facebook messages, or in a PM to myself in Discord... the ads are blocked by the third party.

Plus, I’m sure all the ad-blockers are completely benevolent in design.

I can’t remember the last time I used Spotify. So many companies and services I gotta avoid. Why must they be so evil?

To watch a 2 minute trailer takes 20 minutes because of the ad interruptions every 7 seconds.
