Please Tell Me I’m Not Going Crazy With These Nonstop YouTube Ads

Can we talk about how out of control YouTube ads have gotten lately?

I feel like I can’t even watch a 10-minute workout video without being interrupted by non-stop ads.

Don’t even get me started on the cringe-y sponsored ads forcibly squeezed between the video and the comment section — No, I’m not interested in finding “incredible, sexy local women”!

At first I thought maybe I was just noticing the ads more than usual.

But after complaining to a friend about it, turns out I’m not the only one going crazy by the sheer amount of ads. She’s noticed it too!

The frequency has gone through the roof — I’d say there’s a commercial break every couple minutes now.

And the repetition is insane.

Once I get targeted with a Toyota ad, that same ad stalks me for weeks on end.

Just the other day, I swear I got trapped in a glitchy ad matrix where the same ad played three times in a row. By the time the actual video started I had forgotten what I was even trying to watch!

I miss the old days when YouTube ads weren’t so invasive.

Now it feels like they’re constantly interrupting and distracting from the actual content.

I know YouTube needs ads to make money. But the balance is totally out of whack.

Between all of my monthly subscriptions to food delivery and streaming services, and now ceaseless YouTube ads, I’m already paying too much!

Can you relate or am I just being crazy here? Have you also noticed the ads spiraling out of control recently?
