YouTube Ads popping up about 90 seconds into videos

I use Adblock on YouTube. No shame. It's too annoying otherwise.

I would argue that the advertisement industry doesn't understand that forcing ads on people who do not want to watch them will not sell the product.
Case it point: intrusive full-screen ads or unskippable ads on that blu-ray movie you just purchased.

All you guys using ad-blockers are just straight up stealing content from the people that made it.

Considering that YouTube creators don't get paid for an ad if a viewer skips an ad too early and doesn't interact with it, and that the people using adblock would probably skip the ads as fast as they can, this is not true.

It's pretty bad on Twitch as well...

I use youtube premium so not a problem for me but I started ad blocking twitch when they went complete asshole and started serving ads to prime subscribers.

I'm sure there are some, limited circumstances where it won't change anything, yes.
