I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible.

In a 14 minutes video, I got 5 ads. 1 (or more skippable once) at the beginning, 1 during the first half of the video, 2 during the second half, and 1 at the end.

All were skippable after 5 sec.

2 were close together at about 1 min interval during the second half of the video.

But that is not the only issue. 4 of those ads (not the last one at the end), were Israeli hate/war anti-hamas propaganda.

I consider these ads horrible and they should not be allowed in my opinion.

    Yep. My day job is providing tools to marketing folks and improving lead gen. It pays me well.

    But I also contribute to open source projects to unfuck the internet. I know the tricks people like me use.

      Real heroes have shitty day jobs. Checks out.

      Except Batman and Iron Man. Those guys also have mansions, hot chicks, cars, and sarcasm.
