While watching videos in Dailymotion on my mobile phone, I get two non-skippable 20-second advertisements per ~5 minutes!

After the advertisements finished, the video starts over, so I have to seek the last playback spot again! A bug, apparently.

Very intrusive.

Of course, some advertisements are funny or could present a useful product. But often, Dailymotion showed me the same advertisement >10 times.

Websites harass users with intrusive advertisements and then whine when people use ad blockers. Don't be surprised.

If it were non-intrusive (1× 15sec per 10 minutes, resume playback at last position, as intended), it would be perfectly acceptable. But not how it is now.

Just had to get this off my mind.

You don't get to pick though, that's not how it works.

The ad gets in your head because of repetition, so you just remember it. As I was typing that out I literally thought "December to remember sales event" because of some ad from a decade ago.

You can consciously rage against the company, but you'll probably subconsciously remember it for the rest of your life.

Ads are poison. If you can't get rid of them then consider the value of the thing you're getting in exchange for them.

Ah, I see. Yes, that's right, indeed.

But at some point, it starts becoming annoying.
