Intrusive and sneaky ads like the ones on YouTube should be heavily regulated if not illegal.
Edit: especially ads louder than the average content volume, repetitive jingles designed to get stuck in your head, billboards, and ads thrown in the middle of the video you’re watching
I can honestly say, apart from seeing it on on the background when visiting parents or similar, that I haven’t watched free to air TV in maybe 15 years. Been streaming or downloading all that time.

Sounds like you haven’t watched a lot of free to air tv haha

I hardly watch it either. Just found it funny all the complaints above could be applied to what free to air tv has been doing for decades.
Agree with you completely.

Yet they still get around it through sound mixing. Any regulations against using jingles or having ads interrupt what you’re watching?
Luckily all that is prosecutable by Ofcom here so it very rarely happens.
Ads in those are also regulated in civilised countries.
