YouTube know what they are doing… irritate the hell out of you until you buy Premium.

I once had YouTube on in the background and an advert which was an hour long popped up - but I was focused on something else and away from the screen and the tv remote.

The advert? A video of someone pointing a camera outside of a window during the night and onto a dark street (no sounds other than rustling from the person holding the camera). An hour long of it.

Skip.

It was soon after this I paid up.

You ... rewarded this behavior instead of installing ublock origin and never seeing another YouTube ad?
