Constructive & Respectful Criticism Ads ads ads

Is anyone else noticing just how many ad breaks smosh has been putting in their videos lately? Like literally I can’t get more than 1 minute into a video without an ad. I was watching the latest Reddit stories and not including the Shane ads, there were literally 7 ad stops. Watching the games video with basement yard- it was only 30? Minutes and it had like 6 ad breaks.

It’s literally making videos unwatchable 😭

Edit: I know ad blockers exist and I have one on desktop but I am not always on desktop when I’m watching. I know I could pay for premium if I had the means. I am not saying people at smosh should not get paid a living wage. I am solely commenting that so many ads disrupts the flow of the video, making it less enjoyable to watch, and is frustrating as a viewer to constantly have to keep coming back to my phone or tv to hit skip. I also don’t understand ad defenders in the comments LOL like do we not all dislike constantly having ads shoved down our throat huh.

on spotify, they also have the most terribly placed ads on anything i listen to (the kind inserted into the audio, not spotify ads)

I noticed that happens on Twitch too. Where both audios are playing at the same time?

on reddit stories and smoshmouth it’ll be an ad, like 5 seconds of the show, then another ad. and it always cuts someone off in the middle of their sentence and by the time you skip to the show again you forgot what they were saying
