Too much ads. Very exhausted!

Utterly miserable

As walls every 2 minutes. No actual means of seeing if people agree or disagree with posts or opinions. No option to not see shorts period.

Just updated and the ad frequency has gone from 2 minutes to 30 seconds.

At this point you’re watching ads with 30 seconds of video in between, it isn’t even funny this is literally ad abuse at this point.
