I would watch Youtube a lot more if the ads did not interrupt the video in the worst places.

I mean, there are places where there is a scene transition and they are perfect for an ad. And there's the middle of an interesting explanation you don't want to interrupt.

Youtube ads always interrupt the flow of the video. In many cases that makes me close the player and do something else.

And many channels already have ads as part of their normal content.

It seems Youtube has the content, but the huge and obnoxious amount of ads reminds me of old fashioned TV.

I'm not sure what your music provider is but I pay for Google Play precisely because it includes a completely ad-free YouTube experience. Combine that with my smart TV and I basically just flip back and forth between YouTube and Netflix when I am watching TV. Some of the longer form YouTube content is great on a large television.

Well they do have a paid version which doesn't have ads.

That only applies to the ads from Google, not from content creators themselves.

And it is three times more expensive than Netflix where I live.

I don't see the value proposition there.

They gotta eat too, you know. Some of the channels I watch cost real cash-money for the creators to produce.

I can see that. But this means Google model doesn't work for content consumers like me, and it also doesn't work for content creators.
