Google is an advertising company.
Install uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock for YouTube (uBlock Origin to block pre-roll and mid-roll adverts and SponsorBlock to automatically skip sponsor spots and advertisements in the videos themselves as well as various other fluff)

@Lynn Minmay I'm a huge fan of uBO but I've never heard of SponsorBlock before, thanks for that. I wonder how that even works.
