Is YouTube changing???
GlennSprigg:
Is it just me, or is virtually every YouTube video NOW plagued with at LEAST 4 times as many Ads, that seem
to be automatically edited in, beyond what the 'poster' may have wanted affiliated with their post??? :P
daqq:
Yes. Youtube is becoming much worse by leaps and bounds. It's no longer just from the point of view of the content creators, but also from the point of view of the consumer.
NiHaoMike:
I use youtube-dl, the only "ads" I see are the ones the creator embedded.
If they want more ad views, perhaps we could just start a few videos playing on some old smartphones and leave them running all day. (Would that make them enough revenue to be worth the electricity use?)
JohnnyMalaria:
I stump up the $2.99 per month - problem solved. Changes the whole YT experience.

They recently introduced a new, annoying [edit: more annoying] kind of ads, which the content creator - if s/he so chooses - has to actively opt-out of. Many probably didn't bother.
