The midrolls are nearly always in an awful spot in the video and especially when watching something on a serious topic so jaring.

At least most television ads are placed in a slot designed for ads to be there. Though I still find them jaring for shows that arent up-beat.

To be honest, tv ads are the reason we dont watch a lot of TV anymore. The ad:content ratio is too high, and youtube has definitely as high or higher without an adblocker.
