The YouTube user experience in 2024:
- Consider ad-exposure to content value trade-off
- 50% chance of bailing
- Mute device
- Click link
- Do something else for ~3 minutes
- Come back
- 50% chance of giving up since ad is still running
- Unmute and watch for ~5 minutes
- Ad comes on, mute and do something else
- Repeat...
My default is now to not watch videos unless I am really sure ahead of time that they are worthwhile. The ad/content ratio is not reasonable. This used to be very different 1-2 years ago.
