    For me it isn’t the length, but the frequency that is bothering me. It’s insain, it’s like every 3-5 mins depending on the video length. It’s unusable atleast in my case. Only watching from devices I have adblocker on now. Not my phone.

    Adblockers have been mentioned a hundred times, as they should.

    Annual reminder to donate to Invidious too. YouTube has done some serious work to try and block most of the instances.

    Vanillo (Not open source sadly) and PeerTube are the best options we have right now

    I like paying for services rather than using free services that sell my data and brainwash me with ads. Adblock is fine, but how are they supposed to make money? Should the service be free?

    It’s your fault.

    YouTube is proprietary and Google can do whatever they want.
