Okay. I'm not sure if this was big enough to be a MyTake or just a question, so I'll do both and have the detailed stuff in the MyTake.
I really can't stand those G*DDDAMN, F*CKING, PATRONIZING, ANNOYING AS F*CK "Like, Subscribe, Ring the Bell" animation graphics at the start of YouTube videos, nowadays. Those pandering, lazy, entitled, pieces of sh*t! It's layered obnoxiousness for so many reasons:
1) We all know how to do that; even children know how to use YouTube, so it REALLY insults our intelligence.
2) The video just started, so it comes off entitled as sh*t. Why do you think you deserve all that before you've even shown any f*cking thing?! It plays into the "shut up and consume product" society we're becoming, if not already, where people think viewers just have to do what they're told, instead of "content creators" actually putting out sh*t worth people sticking around for and earning their Googlebux. Or, as stated before, it's more g*ddamn lazy entitlement.
3) Any channel that has to make you do that is probably an e-whoring piece of sh*t that doesn't deserve the attention, especially if they demand you do all that before the actual video content even plays. Only trash channels actually use those animation graphics.
4) There's something about that bell that is just so f*cking annoying! I can't even really describe it. No one I know on YouTube deserves to have me drop everything I'm doing to immediate watch the latest upload from them. It's pretty damn arrogant and egotistical.
And 5) It's so blatantly just to get those Googlebux, and these channels usually have ads all throughout the video and have a ten minute minimum run time, just to make those cheap pennies. Un-monetized videos never have these obnoxious animations on them. In other words, it's blatantly treating you like a cheap whore, whether you realize it or not.
Any channel that has this bullsh*t, I immediately dislike, and typically stop watching, right then and there. Seriously, it's a First World problem for sure, but I cannot, f*cking STAND these obnoxious f*cking animation graphics on YouTube videos, nowadays!
At least with Ublock Origin, you can skip pre-roll ads. And at least with paid sponsorships, you can sometimes see them coming and skip past them (though I'll often Dislike and stop watching those videos as well, if they treat the customer too much like a dollar sign or sell some piece of sh*t no one would ever want, like Raid Shadow Legends). But those "ring the bell" animations are like a nasty sucker punch to the gut and I HATE them every damn time! I just gave five reasons why they're annoying, all at once.
