I wish I could ad-block YouTube ads that don&#x27;t let me &quot;skip&quot; in 5 seconds (that seems to be a good measure of my tolerance).  The ads I do remember, and maybe the most effective, are the ones that only run for 5 seconds.  &quot;Tropicana&quot; ran a 5 seconds ad for it&#x27;s juice: very effective; I still remember it, I like their juice.  There is a lot of content I&#x27;ll not even bother to watch because I can&#x27;t stand the pre-advertisement.<p>I love YouTube for catching up on the late night talk shows, checking out the latest Cyanide and Happiness shorts, or watching cool documentary; I used to spend hours watching content.  Lately, however, I can&#x27;t stand to stay for one or two videos, because the ads are so offensive.  I&#x27;ll close the app&#x2F;website and find something else to do.<p>A few years ago I cut my satellite service, and now I refuse to subscribe to cable&#x2F;satellite again.  I have local, over-the-air channels, but I don&#x27;t watch them anymore either.  After being a few years without that kind of TV advertising, I realise how obnoxious advertising really is.  It&#x27;s a total assault on the senses!  Advertising on the Internet is heading this way, and I&#x27;m equally disgusted.<p>Anyway... You asked how I feel.  Yay ad-blockers!
