Rawdogging YouTube today is a similar experience to what I had with a free trial of Hulu several years ago. The ads were so frequent and so lengthy that I cancelled several days before the trial was even over. I swear I was getting six minutes of ads for every two minutes of content.
There’s a point where the greed makes the product unusable.
I watch a lot of Tubi on my TV, and I find the ads there tolerable. They don’t just flood you with them. I’m totally ok with sitting through their ad breaks in exchange for a free watching experience.
(I don’t know if Hulu has gotten better or worse. The experience was so god awful that I’ve never even slightly entertained the thought of trying it again)

And at least for now with Tubi, the ads come from a separate domain that you can block and only get a blank screen for the ad break.
