I hate advertisements so much.
This is the main reason I don't have cable. I couldn't wrap my brain around the concept of paying for content full of ads.
I paid for youTube premium but I'm about to give up on that too since you may skip the inserted ads there are still all of the sponsors. And I can't be mad at creators for wanting to make some money but I really need to escape these ads.
Because ads work -- most people assume they don't but they do. They change you.
@futurebird While I can agree with your sentiment, I would have to say that IMO Sponsorships are better than ads. I dont mind if creators are getting paid by their own sponsorships, and a lot of the content creators I watch also know their audience doesnt like any of it either. So they tend to be a little less intrusive, cater to their audience, or easier to skip/predict. Plus the creators that only push Raid Shadow Legends, or World of Tanks Etc, are so obnoxious, I usually stop watching their content anyways. Its almost like a litmus test if a channel starts using cringy ads, then the channel is kinda going down hill.
