YouTube is testing a series of new unskippable 30-second ads that will appear far more often for viewers.

    I’m not worried. The minute the ad blockers stop working I’ll finally be able to do something else with my time.

      Most of YouTube is already a waste of time anyways.

        Just like lemmy, yet here we are. Sometimes we need to waste some time.

          It’s all about doing it in moderation and choosing carefully what we waste our time on. I would rather “waste” time reading a stupid book than go on Instagram or TikTok, where my mind gets trapped in a circle of emotions and algorithms.
