I use YouTube daily on my phone if I need information or just vegging out. I'll work around the ads with some expletives. Useless is too "sugarwood" for me. Unilateral declarative statements stem from frustration and in sugarwood's case, profound insecurity. Perhaps I digress.

That said, I want to stab the people that decide when to shove them up my behind. "And the killer is......" ad pops up.

Pre-election times are horrid.

The slumber assist ten hour long videos having ad interruptions suck it. They last one interruption. (Try washing machines running - just saying - not to prove ads pop up but to go to sleep if there are no ads)

"Content creators" who possibly are able to choose how much ad bombardment they are able to allow suck it when they max it out. Maybe YouTube does it based on views?

I spend $15 on a six-pack of IPA.

that’s another thing….those 10 hour long relaxation videos, sleep videos, nature videos, psychedelic AI art videos… i have 7 TVs in the house with youtube and often have several of those looooong videos playing to set the mood…..no way i would have any of those playing with adds popping up. ruins the whole experience

Prime is almost worthless after they added all the commercials. Amazon's annual fee keeps going up and they add commercials on top of that.

I hate to dump it because I'm sure more NFL and college games will be carried on it.

I only keep prime for the free shipping. With the amount of packages I get the numbers work out for me otherwise I would cancel it

Download the Brave browser. No more youtube ads. Best web experience out there.

I wonder if this would work on a Roku?

The ads have gotten pretty bad but at least you can skip them after a set amount of time has clicked off, it can be frustrating though.

My smart TV is a google android. No direct download. Sideload maybe but I have not tried.
