They really will keep pushing this until it's 1% content, 5% sponsorshit, and the remainder ads that are injected straight into your eyeballs like Pulp Fiction. With a fire hose.

Tried showing some people some YT videos on a "smart TV", instead of my usual uBO+SponsorBlock+BlockTube on a PC. It is fucking awful. It verges on being literally unfuckingusable by being so much of a bitch it's easier to just not watch anything on it.
