One of my biggest pet peeves recently has been people trying to show me <30 second videos on their phone, and having to sit through a full ass 30 second advertisement. It takes such minimal effort to block the ads, you’ll make up the time invested within a week.
And you know what, as I’m typing this I’m realizing it’s not purely the ads that are annoying. Just don’t fucken show people random 30 second meme videos in person, it’s annoying as shit. Send a link or something, we all have phones.

30 seconds arent that bad.
I once was forced to a five minutes video. Five minutes of pure cringe can feel like hours.
I feel this. If you're holding your phone up to my face it better be something off your own camera roll.
Part of the enjoyment I get from sharing memes is seeing/hearing the reaction from the person I'm showing it to. The ads just fuck up the whole vibe.
