    I’ll stop using ad block when YouTube stops making me watch an advert at the beginning of the video and then two unskippable ads one minute into the video.

      I wouldn’t mind watching ads at the start of a video, but having to watch 1-2 ads every 5 or 10 minutes completely ruins the viewing experience. I also don’t feel safe giving Google any personal information, so buying a subscription isn’t an option.
