So today I watched probably about 5 hours of youtube content and I think I only ran into about 2 ads during the entire experience I really don't experience that many ads on youtube anymore and I have turned off my ad blockers and such explicitly for Youtube since I wanted to give at least a little bit of ad revenue to the content creators that I watched at the time that I turned it off. Yet I continuously hear that people have been having problems with too many ads and that ads are ruining the experience on youtube. How many ads do people who watch without ad blocker get on a video such that it's seemingly ruining the experience?

what's with all the (ignore youtube) in the titles?

Sounds like that might be a hint as to why you get ads on youtube.

I know I get ads on youtube (my adblockers are set up so that I do), it's that I don't get many ads on youtube for some reason.
