YouTube is tolerable with ads. If I found it intolerable, I would pay. Or not visit.
Lately without an ad blocker YouTube will give me an ad every minute. Basically unusable.
'Rainbow Dome Musick', by Steve Hillagr..glorious soothing music, then 30 mins in, a Barilla pasta advert. Sorry, youtube - I tried.
Humans are just so damn different in their tolerance to wasting time. I can't take feeling like I wasted 10 seconds of my time on an ad even when watching an video for recreation.
