It seems that Youtube's IT department has decided to utilize the budget and show investors that they are not getting paid for nothing. After all, Youtube is only testing a new type of advertising, and there are already a dozen solutions to the problem in the comments.
Don't get why they don't just embed them in the middle like a few growing and actually good channels I watch do with their content.
I just fast-forward but they're embedded in the content so there's not really a way to "block" them but I don't mind skipping if im not interested like 45-60 secs.
Ads are the worst at the start and more tolerable in the middle, altho that is reversed for music where the content needs to maintain continuity
