I legit have disposable income now, so I hate when ads are for stupid shit no one on the planet would (should) buy....

I especially hate phone ads. If I didn't have a phone at all, ok - fine, that makes sense. But everyone has a phone. It's like advertising a house. HEY! That bungalo you're living in is nice, would you like to start a new 20 year plan on a split-level? Or cars for that matter... why are there BI-HOURLY car commercials when an average person buys a new car once every 5 years (unsubstantiated, IDK - maybe you guys do buy 2 cars week... since there's more car commercials than McDonalds commercials)

That's definitely annoying.

I think my biggest ad peeve is when an ad suddenly sends you to a new web page and won't even let you use the back function so you're just stuck and have to find what you were looking at all over again.

Then you should use an adblocker instead of bitching about something unnecessarily.

Can't block ads in the YouTube app unless you pay for it. Which, lel, imagine paying for YouTube...

That's horsecrap. I haven't seen an ad on YT for years. Not that I frequent there or anything but you know how someone hotlinks a video and then you end up following a video or two from there.

Oh wait. Upon rereading you said app. Um, there's an app?

What does Google Play Music even offer? I tried using it once just to play my music on my SD card, but it tried reading some different files and got confused and got stuck on them, so I stopped using it.

It's a less annoying and more customizable Spotify essentially. I mainly use it for the "radio" feature. Just pick any song, album, or artist and it'll create an endless station of similar shit. Because it's tied directly to YouTube the music library is absolutely fucking massive too. Like I've even been able to find shitty local bands that have only ever put out one album on there.

That's too bad. The internet lost its monetary system when they went overboard with flashy banners, pop overs, full screens, auto plays, etc.

Adblock plus is your friend.

If any website or video requires me to turn off adblock, then I leave the website, plain and simple. No site is worth reading or watching if it forces me to remove adblock.

If you make an intelligent post, people tend to ignore it because they only respond to stupid. Don't believe me? Just look at most of the chained replies.

There will always be free content, some people need their daily 15 minutes of fame. The quality may suffer when they have to host it themselves. Still, the advertising market shot themselves when they turned invasive. Plus it's a security risk since some ads can deliver malware.

They only give sites a few cents per click anyway. It's not like you're supporting a site with a great source of funding. Screw advertising.
