Seriously launched the app (by accident today) and what is this? They’re trying to play the victim from the big bad ad blockers saying all they’re doing is trying to show an ad at the beginning of video, and then I see all of this crap.
This was after a non-skippable ad at the beginning followed by a totally real “survey” that it wanted me to fill out, one interruption so far in the content, and now three ads on the screen. That’s 45% of the screen dedicated to ads. Freaking ridiculous. “But please turn off your ad blocker”.
I got youtube revanced the moment youtube started playing an ad every 2 minutes. Not even exaggeration either, literally every 2 minutes.
That’s horrible. Moved from vanced to revanced the moment it was properly working with the manager tool. Had the chance to look at the stock app a couple of days ago. It’s not even about the ad-blocking anymore. The stock app is borderline unusable.
Also fun fact: Youtube managed to pull off a cobra-effect with their recent fight on adblocking. That was a fun realisation when I heard of that.
That was probably a year ago it’s every 12 seconds now, unskippable 3 minute ads.
I can’t even tell the difference between components. It’s a very confusing ui.
Well, since they started with this adblock shame nonsense, I can tell you that my ad revenue has been in steady decline, despite views being the same or higher than before this racketeering went into effect.
So whatever they think they’re doing is backfiring on content creators.
Google literally has to ruin everything it touches by constantly trying to change things.
To be honest even without ad block most of the videos I watch have almost no ads. Probably because of the type of humor involved but still. Doesn’t hurt to had the ad-blocker
Okay then show the ads to the majority of people who accept them by not running any blockers and leave me alone.
