I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible.
In a 14 minutes video, I got 5 ads. 1 (or more skippable once) at the beginning, 1 during the first half of the video, 2 during the second half, and 1 at the end.
All were skippable after 5 sec.
2 were close together at about 1 min interval during the second half of the video.
But that is not the only issue. 4 of those ads (not the last one at the end), were Israeli hate/war anti-hamas propaganda.
I consider these ads horrible and they should not be allowed in my opinion.
As if that stops it!
Cable is a cesspool. Netflix is letting ads creep in. (Just the tip!) Hulu didn’t even try holding back; they came right out the gate with free-but-there’s-ads and paid-but-there’s-less-ads. Amazon owns IMDb, so they do the same shit with Prime and IMDb streaming, but pretend it’s two separate systems.
Advertising shits in your brain. We have to just get rid of it.
