    I been on the internet since the 90s. I want to know what people are seeing. A commercial here or there keeps me in the loop about what is being pushed.

    1 hour unskippable ads tells me a lot about what is going on, unfortunately.

      I see where you’re coming from but meanwhile I’m here using crowd sourced addons to even skip embedded video sponsorships.

        I want to know what’s going on in the world.And that includes knowing what advertisers are pushing down our throats.Political ADS ads for products, things like that.How they’re going about it.

        I care too much and it’s beginning a problem in my personal life

          Just do that once in a while. You don’t need to subject yourself to ads every time you watch YouTube. I would say, once a week do a watch session without an ad blocker if you want to be in the loop.
