Am contemplating buying a Chromecast with Google TV, and installing SmartTubeNext on it, just so I can escape the ad barrage: - 2 ads on video start, unskippable - multiple (at least 2) 2 ad breaks during even a 10 minute video, almost always unskippable.
And the worst thing? It's the same 5-10 ads that you get!... they rotate in and out on a weekly basis, but the sensation is you see the same frickin ones over and over again! I don't work in marketing, but if I ever get to speak to someone who does, I'll definitely tell them that repeatedly seeing your ad will definitely put me off your client's product, even if it is the best choice on the market.
I already own a Chromecast Ultra, but it sits unused for more than a year now.
I'll never get YouTube Premium. I (maybe) can afford it, but it's too much for what I get in return.
