I've used YouTube since I can remember, you too?
The pesky thing shows ads right when I find a YouTube video to watch.
1. You click.
2. You wait.
3. You watch.
4. Your eyes divert.
5. You listen.
6. You tone it out.
7. Your cursor hovers over Skip Ad.
8. You're stuck until you can Skip.
California's tech brains figured out they can make money by keeping people on screens. Even way over here in the Mitten of Michigan, they can do it.
You just need a 'Site' or 'App' to do it, then put ads on the screen.
Eyes locked in, this website (graycare.net) already makes almost one dollar per day with Google Ads. Read More.
Advertisements are a necessary inconvenience for some free internet services.
YouTube is the internet's best free service for video.
YouTube lets you purchase a Paid Subscription of YouTube if you want.
Or if you don't want to pay for YouTube, then just watch videos on YouTube without paying, on the "Regular Version" or "Free Version" of YouTube.
I've used YouTube for since I can remember, and I've been known to dabble online.
Surfing the internet for videos watching entertainment is done on YouTube.
1. What do you wanna watch?
2. Search YouTube for it
3. Scroll to find the video you want
4. Click the video
5. Wait for Skip Ad
6. Click Skip Ad
7. Watch to your heart's content. 🩷
With YouTube Premium - it cost me about $20 or $30 per month, I hope that I can "Skip the Skip", so that step 4 goes straight to 7 with my heart content. 🩷
One more reason to get rid of those pesky ads on YouTube's Free Version is to improve your personal life and interpersonal life.
I believe YouTube on a computer can listen to you while you are using YouTube. I verified this by makeshift "Not Really Science" by asking a roommate to walk in on my wearing headphones and then open the water faucet to emit a splash stream sound. Sure enough, I've been able to get YouTube to put an ad between my left and right ears when my roommate walks in the room to say hello.
Ads before a video are bearable on a Free Version, because I appreciate I'm using this for free to will watch an ad for how long you want.
"When Computer Hear Sound, Then Show YouTube Ad". The logic is fine, I guess, not so bad when I stand up to hit the restroom for a hot minute.
The same logic is less welcome when people saying hello compete with ads breaking your concentration in not two, but three!
When not watching YouTube and your roommate says hello, you pause what you're doing to to pay attention to your roommate.
When watching YouTube Free Version and your roommate says hello, you pause what you're doing, decide what's an advertisement and what's real, then pay attention to your roommate.
I'm really hoping YouTube Premium reduces this experience to just one.
When watching YouTube Premium and your roommate says hello, and stops for a moment to say, wow that's really nice music, do you want to chat?
