Paul Souders on Nostr: YouTube has started doing this thing on my browser where it just plays ads. ...
YouTube has started doing this thing on my browser where it just plays ads. Unskippable 30sec ads, one after the other, some are up to 4 minutes(!) long. The actual video *never* plays. I have tried sitting through 3 or 4 ads just to see whether the video ever starts but…it doesn’t
is this just me?
