Youtube ads can no longer be skipped

Youtube is getting greedier. Holy crap. I can't believe as an avid youtube user, you can't skip ads.

They probably know by now how much % makes them $$ and how much doesn't. It's all about that bottom line
 
Anyone who knows to enter google is capable to find out a way to block ads on all devices.

Why you guys say greedy? That is the right move. You would do the same.

If I am wrong, then why service prices are competitive? Funny talk.
 
Problem with monopolism, unless we have another platform that can truly rival Youtube, they have no intention of giving any crap about UX.
 
How I look at it, if a YouTube video plays a 5 second add I let it run, if not I move onto another video, I back out of the add 5 times if a 5 second ad appears I'll accept if not next video.

If 50 percent into a video, I back out scrub through the video and ads gone.
 
Things are becoming more unfair and annoying to the point where some ads make me want to stop watching videos simply because they will not skip.
 
I can still skip ads for now. May be its restricted to specific countries.
 
I dont think so there might be some ads that cant be skipped but still i can skip or maybe i am lucky enough right now.
 
Not being able to skip is understandable but why are they removing the ability to choose the ad placement? Some youtubers place ads right before the entertainment value peaks which means viewers won't just get annoyed and close the video and watch the entire ad.
YT will go down the drain with these stupid decisions.
They surely know something that we don't, in the end they just want as much money as possible, I can't be mad about it since it will increase creators revenue as well
 
From a viewers perspective: I have never seen ads on YouTube for the last 3 years
