YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.

I recommend turning off the device completely when an ad starts. This not only works, but has improved my entire life.

"unskippable" laughs in ublock/revanced

I double dare you!

I used to pay for premium a couple years ago because I still wanted to support the creators I watched, but ever since they started implementing AI everywhere and stealing peoples videos for training data I figured Google doesn't deserve my money no matter how small. I'd much rather watch with uBlock and spend that $20 I used to spend on YouTube Premium on the various YouTubers Patreons.
