There is NO REASON why an ad needs to take so much of my time. I can understand if you need more than 5 or 10 seconds to properly explain your product, but TWO WHOLE MINUTES?!?!?
I understand if it's for medical stuff, but NOT for fucking Snapchat or Pinterest. If you need more that 15 seconds to explain your app or product, then maybe you need to re-evaluate some things. We don't need to know the "science" of putting rice in a bag to make sure it stays warm after you microwave it!!! We don't need to see 50 million people having fun with your product, just one will suffice!!
Always use an ad-blocker, and even if you can't get one, find a service that doesn't have ads connected to it.
I recommend UBlock Origin for an ad blocking plugin, and Invidious for Youtube.
Don't become a product for the corporate machine.

30 seconds is the standard length of a television ad, but honestly, the thing that gets me is when the damned commercials are louder than the show you're trying to watch, which is something I believe should definitely be illegal.
real, constantly having to change the volume is hell, but I can't think of a way to nullify that without messing anything up for other ads

So true, honestly I've been using adblocks on everything I own for so long that anytime I see an ad I get double fristrated lol
I will add a couple suggestions to yours, which are very vaild:
- if you use Chrome, switch to a Firefox fork like LibreWolf, uBlock will not work on Chrome anymore since Google has disabled it
- use nextdns (or another ad-blocking dns resolver) on all your devices, this way you can block ads even on your phone
- piped is also a very nice youtube frontend with the same philosophy as invidious, being open-source and decentralized, for the best experience I also recommend using sponsorblock
- if you need a privacy-friendly youtube client on your phone, I recommend Tubular, which is a fork of NewPipe that integrates SponsorBlock
YES!!! Thank you for sharing recourses!!!! I had no idea Ublock wasn't working on chrome anymore, thank you for making that clear as well
