From all I can tell, Rick Astley seems like a really cool guy with a great sense of humor.

Also (I swear on my late father’s grave this is not a Rickroll), he does an absolutely amazing cover of Uptown Funk, which I like more than the original.

Feel free to search for “Rick Astley Uptown Funk” on your own if you don’t believe me though. It’s worth it.

Company PR wage slaves are forced to give companies personality online to make them appear relatable and hip with the kids

Don’t fall for that bullshit

None, because seeing a four minute unskippable ad halfway through a two minute video would make me go apoplectic.

There are multiple ways to remove that: youtube revanced, adblocker(i think), new pipe etc

And soon probably everywhere unless you pay, because YouTube is testing server side ad injection, so they’d be part of the main video stream.

It’s been about a year since I had an ad on mobile. It takes about a minute to set it up so you don’t see them.

I was being a smart ass, but it was a lead in to let you know you have the option to be ad free.

Install ReVanced now and enjoy YouTube without ads, sponsor segments, and clickbait on your phone while you still can.

I haven’t seen a YouTube ad on my phone since about 2021, thanks to the magic of Vanced and later ReVanced. Sounds like a skill issue on your end ngl

What the hell makes you think YouTube employees have to watch the ads themselves?

Some definitely have, as they test and implement it. But the point was that the user stopped watching YT because of ads, not that YT will not

It would be great to link them to a youtube videos with just ads. Cause you know you go in youtube to watch ads not content

The YouTube employees probably don’t have ads right?

It’s also ironic that on a rare occasion of happening upon an interesting ad that I want to rewatch, there’s no fuckıng way to do it, I can’t even rewind it or get a link to it
