Moving from YouTube to PeerTube
anecdotally youtube seems to have aggressively increased the number of ads just in the last few weeks or so<p>i see ads on almost all videos i watch now, there are two ads before the video (the first one i can’t skip at all, the second i can sometimes skip after a few seconds), and then some videos have more ads at different points in the actual video that show up out of nowhere.<p>and then there’s the search ads that take up the entire mobile interface plus ads beneath the video<p>given i’ve mostly been using youtube for recipes lately and skip around the video a lot the experience is like being forced watching 30 seconds of ads for every 5 minutes of content.<p>it’s completely completely unbearable
