@nano I would rather sit in silence for a minute instead of watching a 5sec ad. I would be perfectly happy not seeing any content at all to stop seeing ads.

I will not watch ads. I'm willing to pay a reasonable amount for entertainment, so the content creators can make a small profit. I'm not willing to pay more, just for the greed of shareholders who expect ever increasing profits. I'm not willing to sacrifice my privacy either.

YouTube needs me/us more than we need them. Without viewers, the platform is obsolete.
