The #enshittification of #YouTube must be all but complete. It used to be that adverts - if they were played at all - would at least wait for a very clear and obvious break in the audio to suggest a dialogue or scene change. Now it just breaks in - mid-sentence, mid-tune, whatever - with no consideration for matching the tone, the beat, or anything to do with the current video. Bloody awful, and intrusive, and on the verge of making it not worth even trying any more.

@realcainmosni I think creators can opt into controlling where they go?

@mwichary It would appear that there is a second layer, because I have encountered situations where videos I watched before without intrusion are now carved up by injected adverts, and in one instance where there was a "naturally" placed ad followed mere seconds of video later by a completely incongruous injected advert. And only monetised streams have any control at all, and that bar keeps getting raised.
Whichever way you cut it, YouTube has very little room to get much worse.

@realcainmosni Yeah, I definitely saw it go progressively worse and worse before subscribing to get rid of ads altogether.
