Hello everyone looking over my blog.
YouTube ads. Oh where do I begin. These little things are known for interrupting videos that we all want to watch online. Whether it be a vlog, rant, reaction video, gameplay montage or a Vanoss video, these ads will always appear either before or during the video. But that's not all, these ads can usually last up to 15 seconds to an entire minute. Sure you can skip these ads but that is usually rare (especially for 15-30 sec ads). So YouTube came with a solution, a subscription that would give you no ads. Nuff said. But this "subscription" comes at a price (literally). At a very "low" price of $9.99 a month, you can watch your favorite YouTube videos without ads. That may sound good on paper but paying just to avoid ads is pretty redundant. Just think about the idea "You have to pay
REAL money monthly just to skip something equivalent to unfunny Vines". Just thinking about that kind of bugs me but there's way more reasons why I hate this "subscription".

First of all, ads don't really last that long in general. If you just wait about a few seconds, the ad will be over. Simple as that. Sure you have to do this constantly but it's still better than paying actual money. But, if possible, you have a 95% chance to find ads that allow you to skip it. So you don't even have to wait for the ad to finish. However while most ads are annoying and make no sense, there are some ads that would be considered funny (in my opinion). Some of these ads can include Here In My Garage, some Skittles ads and some random infomercials. But why am I talking about these ads? Well if you buy the subscription, you will barely see this ad without searching it up on the internet (And trust me, they're worth seeing, Especially the Here In My Garage ad). But the most important thing about these ads is that they can be cancelled permanently on the computer. How do you do this exactly? Simple. Just install Ad-Block on your computer. All you just need to do is to find it in the Google Store and install it. And like mentioned by it's name, it disables
ALL YouTube ads, Whether it be before the video, during the video or even throughout the entire page. But the what makes this very useful is that it's absolutely
FREE. But not only is it free, it literally does a better job than the paid subscription. This literally makes YouTube subscription completely useless.
Overall, I find the subscription idea pretty interesting but it eventually ends up being a waste of money. Whether it be because you're missing out on funny ads, you can use a free download similar to this subscription or you can just be patient and wait for the ad to end.
Just remember folks. Patience is a virtue.
