YouTube punishes you for watching ads.

Post Body

After the last YouTube update a few months back I got lazy and never re installed vanced and was just using regular YouTube. I've hit a breaking point however after realizing that you are punished for watching ads. Let's say there are two ads. The first one is 20 seconds, but only forces you to watch 5 seconds before skipping. You are far from your phone and by the time you make it there the ad is over and now the second ad has begun. This one is an unskipable 15 second ad and you are forced to watch the entire thing. Had you been by your phone and were able to skip the first ad without watching it you would not have been forced to watch the second ad. Kind of crappy.

My question is, has any body ever read the terms and conditions for Youtube on not being able to charge / sue them for the data used to play ads? Because before I used ReVanced, I swear my max data speeds wouldnt even be that good but they force me to watch ads that seem like they are playing in 4K over and over. I have thought about sending them a bill for data used during each 5 second skippable or 15 second unskippable ad.
