YouTube and its knack for adding ads
[ad_1]
There is nothing more exasperating than back-to-back ads right before you watch a video or right after you get to the vibe of a video. As if YouTube is not testing the patience of its users enough at the moment, there are rumors about YouTube testing five unskippable ads in place of two. Looks like the app is indeed determined to teach its users the noble virtue of patience or perhaps it is just pushing them till they go for AdBlock. The Twitter town isn’t happy either about the possibility and the threat of sitting through five unskippable ads and their fury is quite evident as they chant AdBlock.
Ads and More Ads
It looks like users aren’t patient enough to sit through five whole unskippable ads, and for those threatened by this torture, AdBlock is the knight in shining armor. Let us flip through a couple of reactions and responses on Twitter to see how much the users enjoy YouTube ads and to what extent they will go to avoid them.
Well, at least the app is keeping AdBlock busy

Cannot agree more.
YouTube is outright unusable without adblock.

It is pretty clear that YouTube is not ready to give up. Looks like the users aren’t either
Haha, time for even more adblock! Doesn’t help me with my console YouTube but that’ll be the point when I make an at-router adblock device from a Raspberry Pi. https://t.co/ZfSo7dXEw5
