    Excessive ads lately, it's ridiculous. Unusable without adblock, so there's no point watching on TV lately. Can't escape even when pausing a video! When skipping an ad, you're still greeting with one, maybe even two more! The ads themselves are getting worse, too, incredibly repetitive even. Blatant scams to propaganda, it's embarrassing to hear the same garbage over and over again.

    The ads have gotten out of hand. Use to be one or two skippable ads. Now you're forced to watch a full minute of non-skippable ads that have ZERO to do with you or your personal needs (tell me why, as a man, I need tampons and Plan B?). That's BEFORE the video starts. Then you'll have 3 or 4 more commercial breaks every few minutes, sometimes skippable, sometimes not. This app sucks now.
