    Root car insurance. You can show it all you want, I am not switching mainly because of you torturing me with your ads.

    Non-stop mother#%@$ing Epoch Times. Someone at YouTube has to be playing a joke on me.

    If I ever see this skinny weasel and his badly plastered over foreign accent again, it will be too soon. Too soon will probably be about 5 minutes from now.

    Literally 9 out of 10 ads. Often back to back Epoch Times ads. I got got one from someone trying to tell me that tomatoes were killing me a couple of times over the last few weeks. Honestly cant remember any others.

    Youtube has got obnoxious with the ads, and I hate what they’ve done with the comment section

    now it’s either 1 long ad u can’t skip, or 2 shorter ads u can’t skip before u even get to start the video, and then every video is sprinkled with ads

    smh...boo everyone at Youtube HQ

    Same...Ads are a security risk. Sometimes I open the wrong app on my phone and one will sneak through but otherwise, no Ads. No cable either....

    Seeing an ad is pretty jarring for me now. I won't go back.

    I see alot of hate-mongering ads. Should illegals be eligible for food stamps, social security, and free healthcare? They do pay taxes but who knows where that money goes.

    most of the time I’m able to skip ads still after 5 seconds. The few times I’m not a long and for then is like 15 seconds.

    they have to have an economic model - not just for them but for the creators as well - and comparatively speaking they have by far the least offensive ads out there imo, as far as length and skip ability. I mean if I accidentally click on a news video - cnn or wherever I’m usually subject to a 15-30 second ad for a 15 second clip and often it will auto scroll to the next video and start another ad. Or the same is true for espn videos. Which is why I basically never do either. I can see the exact same video likely on YouTube in a much more user friendly format.

    I got this one today. My first thought was that this lady nailed the Trump supporting lady look. Then she said she was a Trump. :D

    Just got the Diamond and Silk version of the "Sign President Trump's birthday card!" ad. What exactly in my browsing history makes Google's algorithm think that I would be a useful audience to these ads? They really need to spy on my better.

    This. The mobile app has gone to crap. Looks like vomit that consists of thumbnails and ads.
