    My father in law uses the built in YouTube app on the TV. There were 3 ads that played. The first one was 15 minutes. The second one was also around 15 minutes. The third one was an hour. One fucking hour for a 5 minutes video.

      It always makes me mad when somebody put a playlist on YouTube and out of nowhere a bad song starts playing because it’s an ad.

        That’s exactly what he was listening to. I think it was a beetles playlist and out of nowhere an ad. I skipped and the next was another 15. Skip again and it’s an hour.

        Yes fucking YouTube. When I skip a video, my intent is to see a longer ad.
