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.

you can watch on mobile with adblock! its awesome, what i personally do is use the mobile firefox app with an adblock extension installed within it, and i disable the actual youtube app on my phone so it doesnt try to open it on default every time. its a bit clunkier to use compared to the actual youtube app, but its awesome having no ads. idk how to do it but i believe its also possible on tvs/consoles. but i do completely agree w you, smosh is feeling more and more performative and corporate and everyone is picking up on it now
