I'm sure this has already been said but this happened to me just now and I thought about it.
You know how with the TV they cut to commercial at a moment of anticipation? But they set you up for it. They create a moment of tension and kind of linger on it. Maybe also had in a musical cue or sting or something. There's care and work and attention that goes into raising your interest and then gracefully leaving for ads.
YouTube don't do none of that. But it still knows when you've gotten to the point you really care about. It's not just random. It knows, somehow, 'hey this is the good part' and then it just rips you away from it to launch into an annoying ad. It shocks you. The immediacy of the cut. In a way, a very minor way and not to undermine the use of the word, that is cruel, I think. At the very least cold and uncaring.
AH WE'VE GOT YOUR ATTENTION OK GREAT WATCH THIS AD IDIOT!!!
I think you owe the audience a certain amount of respect if they're giving you their attention.
Anyway check the comments to see what crab thinks.
He'll probably be sitting on a pile of money bags with a top hat and a monocle and a cigar and say, "Pay for premium, peasant hahaha" and then stick the cigar out in my eye.
Ha. classic crab antics.
