I'm waiting for the time that they turn my volume back up after I mute it.

I'd rather foot the bill directly. I'd rather pay for shit if it costs something. I'd rather the businesses that I do business with work harder to make their products better rather than work harder to make me click on ads.
I'd rather not give them a dime of my hard-earned money.

Some industry people are amazingly entitled about your obligation to participate in their business model. Jack Valenti, a former president of the Motion Picture Association of America, once literally called muting commercials or leaving the room during them "theft of programming".
So im assuming a bunch of people are filming themselves walking out of a room with commercials playing and sending it to him with a big FU in the subject line?

ReVanced baby 🤘🏻
I already try to consciously not click YouTube links in my primary browser to avoid this. I load them in a backup browser with no privacy tools or, much more often, download them directly for local viewing. Fuck Google and their ads.
So I would like someone to maybe try to confirm this, but I've been rightclicking and then opening in private browser if there is something I want to check out but don't want to dominate my feed.
However, I've been finding that I still am sometimes getting these things presented to me as if I care. I am beginning to suspect that YT is either a) tracking mouse coordinates and clicks, and using these or b) some kind of ip/ browser based finger printing that gets around private/ incognito browsing.
I'm on firefox, and running pop_os, so if any one else could weigh in anecdotally, I'm very interested.
Private mode deletes cookiees and browsing history on your device, it has no impact on the amount of information sent out to browsers and your ISP.
Okay but so how is activity I'm doing in private mode relating back to non-private mode? Are they tracking mouse activity? Is this browser finger printing? How would I be able to figure that out?

Ads are brainwashing. They sell companies access to your brain case and it's always been a disturbing behavior.

I will never pay for Youtube or accept ads. Yes, even if it would bankrupt them. I am more than willing to let it all burn.
My kids and I always make loud farting noises until we can skip the ad.

Pretty sure there were patents where they record audio and camera to detect if the user is present to pause and resume ads
