The experience of ads on youtube must be misery. A YouTube sub is the best $15 you can spend.

Or an ad blocker...

They don't work, do they? I tried a few but nothing works. I'm on Chrome on Mac.

Unlock origin works for me, on chrome and firefox, Linux and windows.

You must live in a swing state. I get zero political ads in CA.

Some people not in swing states such as I are getting endless ads to donate to campaigns.

I'm in New Jersey which is pretty consistently and firmly blue. Hammered with ads from both sides.

I've gotten quite a few political ads in the last few weeks. (CA with ad personalization turned off)

Proposition 22 ads everywhere.

You don't get ads asking for donation?

CA appears to be politicians' (from both parties) ATM.

I just opened the YT app and a Joe Biden ad is literally the first thing I see at the top. I’m in CA.

And it seems the number of ads has increased a good deal. I tend to get a 2 ad block about every 4-6 minutes now.
