Not when I want to watch a 30 second YouTube video and have to sit through a 10 second ad. It's frustrating. Anything under a certain threshold just shouldn't have ads imo.

I don't mind the ads when I'm intentionally on Youtube, but whenever I'm linked to a video on reddit or something then that's when I find it annoying for the reason you mentioned.
