If I could give a negative star rating I would. Youtube developers and directors, please just beep###!!! off with your stupid advertising policy. Also stop the blocking of ad-blockers....... these are users freedoms in just the same way as you think you are free to push adverts. On tv we have adverts regularly, but we have the freedom to skip through the pointless products being peddled, tv companies don't object, nor do advertisers, they understand that they still sell products and will never win over non interested parties. Just get some business acumen and maturity, take a leaf out of competitor software companies to understand how you can make money without alienating users and trying to force petty subscription models( that aren't advert free either, which you know!! ).
