    As well as the number of views, having an advert is one of the ways the content creators of the videos we are watching get a little bit of money (if it has been monitized.) I'm happy to watch an ad when it helps the creators.

    I use chrome and find it really annoying that you can't use an adblocker extension on android but you can on windows. Makes no sense to me unless Google have signed up to some sort of deal with the advertisers.
