    A couple of five second ads doesn’t bother me at all.

    I’m from a generation that had no pause or fast forward on the TV before the internet. Every fifteen minutes or so you’d have near enough five minutes of ads. YouTube ads are nothing by comparison.

    $10 a month isn’t a huge amount, but it’s $120 saved by the end of the year that I’d rather spend on something else.

        Exactly. Starting from the premise that these services deserve the revenue from ads is completely wrong. As advertising has grown, so has corporate greed in extracting more value from users while providing a worse service.

      Me too, but using ublock for a while it’s easy and quick to become intolerant of ads.
