Seriously launched the app (by accident today) and what is this? They’re trying to play the victim from the big bad ad blockers saying all they’re doing is trying to show an ad at the beginning of video, and then I see all of this crap.
This was after a non-skippable ad at the beginning followed by a totally real “survey” that it wanted me to fill out, one interruption so far in the content, and now three ads on the screen. That’s 45% of the screen dedicated to ads. Freaking ridiculous. “But please turn off your ad blocker”.
Maybe try some episodes and see for yourself?
YouTuber 20 minute opinion drops, sorry, “video essays” are a dime a dozen and the vast majority have nothing notable to say. Better to just try things for yourself and make up your own mind.
