Today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are (jlai.lu)

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.

I've offered. It doesn't bother my partner.

Not OP but I run a Pi Hole for the home network, but don’t intrude to install software on her laptop.

I wouldn't intrude but I'd at least offer.
