They are after me!

You know them, they, those in power, I guess... Recently the number of stupid (Youtube) ads has been on a sharp rise (as I would call them, I will admit it's subjective of me to dismiss revelation about ancient aliens to be wasteful stupid balderdash, anyway.. moving on), yesterday I got 2 in 1 hour! Including one ad that easily last like 10 minutes (I imagine I saw the yellow line almost not moving and skipped)! What's happening?! Is the world really turning crazy?! :O :(( Also, it's annoying, I have to get up from my couch in order to press next, lazy Lloyd is not amused!

You can probably avoid the ads by using an ad-blocker like uBlock Origin :-\

I guess also... I like to think me suffering the ads contribute a tiny bit to the revenue of the content creators I am watching...

And blocking annoying ads means that maybe, just maybe the ads they show will change and be less annoying? Yeah, right - but we can hope ... :laugh:

They will get the cash either way, so don't worry.

There is no real way for the youtube player to check if an ad has been viewed or not - otherwise videos would simply stop playing and things like AdBlock or Vanced wouldn't work. Youtube pays a dividend over the total Ad income split based on several factors related to the channel, mainly subscribers, active viewers and content virality. The only entities that decide how much Google gets paid are the customers, the only entity that decides how much the creators are paid is Google, but there is no straight link between those. YT doesn't work like the pay-per-view and pay-per-click banners.

Pi-Hole works great to block the image overlays that appear at the bottom center of the videos (although you still get a "broken image" rectangle outlining where the ad would be), but can't do anything for video ads interrupting whatever you're watching, unfortunately. If I absolutely insist on watching something that's particularly long (without the interruptions), I use youtube-dl to download the video locally and watch it later. But if it's just me watching random videos I don't particularly care about...I just put up with it (barely).

The tube has increased the number of ads they show people. Google is also taking steps to eliminate ad blockers in Chrome. They really, really want you to view their adverts but that doesn't mean you have to.
