I hadn’t heard of the YouTube thing. Doesn’t matter because I don’t use it, but it’s still outrageous.

I am willing to watch an ad or two every 15 minutes, so long as they are no more than a minute total of wasted time. This ultra-monetization crap where it’s a minute and a half every 5 minutes is why people use AdBlockers and pirate media.

Be reasonable as a business, and you’ll get a reasonable response. Flood my free time with ads, and you get AdBlock and piracy.
