Title: How to deal with constant Commercials on YouTube?
Post by: kristina on July 27, 2022, 11:35:19 AM
Hello, are other people also becoming annoyed with the problem of enduring constant commercials on a film, documentary, movie etc. on YouTube?
Is there any way out or is the best way to ignore YouTube altogether and to "get back" to DVD’s again etc.?
I am slowly really getting exasperated about all these commercials about items I would not buy anyway, with or without commercials … and ... these days there are suddenly new commercials "popping up" every 5-10 minutes of a movie/film/documentary etc. and I wonder what to do about it? How do other people deal with this?
Many thanks from Kristina. :grouphug;

Does your local library have similar DVDs? Here in the US the library systems are strong in many areas and can be a great source of both modern DVDs covering blockbuster and more diverse eastern European movies and such.  For example: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/25/movies/compartment-no-6-review.html

Many thanks iolaire for your kind thoughts and the most interesting link. Here in the UK many public Libraries and Charity shops still have interesting DVD's to borrow and/or to buy ...
... and ... to be honest, I am at the moment not overly keen about eastern European movies, mainly because many contain some political messages etc. and I am taking at the moment a "rest from it all", but ... there is one most interesting Russian movie which I have watched for the first time years ago as a student and that is the life-story of the Russian Muscovite icon painter Andrei Rublev, who was born in the 1360s and died between 1427 and 1430 in Moscow... a most interesting and fascinating film/documentary, which also conveys that particular time in a most fascinating way ...
Many thanks again from Kristina. :grouphug;
