As irritating as it is. I do understand. The internet and things on the internet can’t just be free, and ads is how we pay.
I do highly disagree with how many ads they’ve been playing with implementing.
They main problem I have with this is that we don't have a decent alternative for youtube yet. The main reason I don't want to pay for youtube is because it is Google. With YT premium you don't buy privacy (logically you would say with removing ads you also remove the need to track people).
