You Tube has become a nightmare

@gemswinc

it's definitely downgrading itself. the fkn ads are just too much.

@holon42 @gemswinc I rarely use it other than looking up something specific. But it is probably a strategy to get more to pay for Premium.

I had Premium on a four month trial. I can't justify the cost as little as I use YouTube. $14 a month is too much. Maybe if it was $5?

@S_r_stone That's how I generally use it too, something specific. However, I get caught up
in long ads if I click on someone's link, and I will not watch. Volume down for awhile, then give up & click off. Ugh @holon42

@gemswinc @holon42 You can skip the ad after a short time if you watch for the link in bottom right.

Sometimes you have to sit through the beginning of more than one though.

@S_r_stone I'm assuming you don't mean "skip ad" that no longer appears on many ads @holon42
