I don’t use ad blockers … I’ve gone back to my old cable TV habits from the 90s … use the mute button and take a toilet break, get a drink from the kitchen, check your social media feed, knit a sweater, talk to your spouse … then unmute and keep watching.
The bonus is that if you happen to miss the restart, you can rewind back to what you missed … we never had that in the 90s. Sure PVR existed but not everyone had one.
I also find that I’m using Youtube less and less and just watch full professionally made programs, documentaries or shows. I’m getting to the point of wondering why I watch a bunch of mindless junk while being interrupted by even more mindless junk advertising for hours on end.
It’s weird because I feel like I’m taking back my time to watch all the shows and stuff I wanted to watch in the 90s over cable TV but never had access. If I cut all the stupid time I use to watch junk on Youtube, now I have time to watch all that stuff I wanted to watch a long time ago.

When using youtube, that’s a break every 5 minutes. More frequent if the videos are shorter.

This is what finally pushed me to get an ad blocker for YT. Just pure greed.
Maybe he has frequent toilet needs… 🕳
