YouTube ads getting longer and more frequent

[thatguy97]

YouTube ads are getting longer and more frequent the past month or so, and I was wondering what the AC community's(or staff If you want to chime in) stance is on this. My stance is that it is annoying how many there are per video now, for example a 20 minutes video I watched had four ads in it. Even though I don't like it it makes sense considering YouTube reds release frequently, and I guess the more ads they shove in videos, the more the 10 dollars a month becomes justified. Just want to know what you guys think, as I am starting to consider YouTube Red if this doesn't improve.

Well, I was on the fence about paying for all access music again, but the fact that they bundled youtube red with the music subscription made it become a very easy decision to pay the $9.99. I'm glad I don't have to view youtube ads any longer, though I wouldn't have paid $9.99 for that alone.

Well I personally like the option to have no ads and would have probably paid for it if I didn't already have play music.

I'm not at all bothered by the ads. Yes, some are getting longer (1+ minute ads), but that's something I can deal with to see or listen to the content I am looking for.

Ads...can't live with them, can't live without them...

Actually I could live without them!

I always lived with ads. I have Google play music so I now have YouTube Red but before that I always watched them. An ad here or there to pay the bills is okay.

I pay for Google music which gives me YouTube red!

Whoa, for real? And they are unskippable? I must be lucky as I never got long ones (longer than 15-20 seconds) that didn't give me the option to cut to the video after 10 secs or so.

There skipable. But if I'm listening to something via Bluetooth and away from the phone I'll usually just let it play.
