Everyone here seems to be missing that this app is borderline broken.
If I want it to block ad's it does a stellar job.
But guess what. I want the ads.
So it should be an easy matter to simply turn off the adblocker, in the the event that I might want to do that? Right?
But it is borderline impossible and took me, a computer engineer (I could work an it helpdesk) took well over 4 hours of solid effort to get it to STOP blocking ads!
Mad, right?
Why would I want to Not block the ads?
Well there's a few reasons.
Firstly, I'm painted into a corner by the YouTube algorithm into ever more specific and similar types of programming and frankly I don't need to digest vast amounts of information in rapid fore succession one after the other for the duration I'm watching videos?
Why? Because I'm not on a research binge or an overstimulated teenager in some rarely afforded free time.
I'm an old fart sitting around all day and I like to take my time.
I sit around getting annoyed about software that doesn't work properly like Opera and anything to do with ai.
So I turned the adverts back on and I watch almost all of them.
Why?
Because it is basically news. Seeing as I don't watch or read any news sources at all ever, advertisement keep me connected with the real word outside of retro gaming.
I also need to keep up to date with modern gaming and which products are being released. Also the film and tv industry and what packages are available.
Opera made it very difficult for me to gain access to these adverts, which are paid for with large sums of money as a 'loss leader' business investment. This could range from an infomercial to a lavish christmas advert for a major supermarket.
So you see. The purpose of adverts, in my case, is to keep abrest of current events and market and trends and break up the monotonous programming that youtube favours.

Not to mention that in order for youtube to be profitable, it does need ad income and if I still value the platform I feel more comfortable contributing in a small way to it's operation.
In this way I alleviate guilt from not paying for any of the programming.
I'm not sure, but if ad's are blocked, yt knows and the content creator get's no payment for ads they would have, had you watched them.
