YouTube would be a fantastic platform if not for the ludicrous amounts of ads they began to shove down users' throats in early 2020. Most videos are simply unwatchable now, with almost every single one having an ad at the beginning, end, and depending on the length of the video, possibly multiple ad breaks in between. Sometimes these ads are back to back and unskippable. But by far the most egregious example is when you get ads longer than the video itself in the case of short-form content.
