Hey Trimble,
stop bombarding me with SU ads on YouTube. I already bought it. If I have to hear that stupid song one more GD time, I’m going to lose it. I’ve blocked like 17 of these ads and I still see at least 5 ads for SU every time I open YouTube. I’m about to switch to a different software out of spite from how much I despise these ads.
Please knock it off.
Sincerely, someone who already paid for a Pro license.
Thanks.
Maybe you should contact Google that owns You(r)tube.
It’s their algorithms that sends you those adds according to your interests.
nope. I also use Rhino and Solidworks and have been for years, and haven’t seen a single ad. There’s no adblocker on Roku.
Sorry for the inconvenience! If we had a tool to define who was a paid customer from “someone who has shown interest in SketchUp”, we would scratch you off the list… until then… all we can do is say sorry…
Get YouTube premium, I got it a couple years ago, I haven’t seen any Ads since then, it has more features that I find useful as well, like being able to hear a video even with the phone locked. I don’t know if it’s a premium feature but most of the content creators have sponsors, I can skip those sponsors just by double clicking or double tapping on the video and continue with the content that I want yo see or hear.
it’s so incredibly aggravating. I watched YouTube videos for a couple hours last night and I literally saw 10 sketchup ads, despite having blocked Trimble in ad center. I’m so tired of it. not sure you could have picked a more irritating song to use in the ad.
I may have an unpopular opinion here, but I honestly don’t understand the outrage about YouTube ads.
If you watch YouTube occasionally, sure, ads can be annoying. But if you’re consuming hours of content every week, you’re using a service that costs an enormous amount of money to operate. Servers, bandwidth, development, support, content moderation, and creator payouts don’t magically pay for themselves.
As professionals, most of us expect to be paid for our own work. We don’t tell our clients, “Please use our services for free because paying is inconvenient.” Yet somehow many people expect online platforms to provide unlimited value at no cost.
If the ads bother you that much and you use YouTube heavily, YouTube Premium seems like a reasonable solution. You’re essentially paying for a service that you clearly find valuable enough to use every day.
I’m not defending every decision Google makes, but I do think there’s a strange expectation these days that everything on the internet should be free forever. That’s simply not how sustainable businesses work.
Wait until people start to see the true cost of AI. Once we get out of the honeymoon / free trial / the companies run out of loopholes and tax breaks and shell game cash we will hopefully have to start paying the real cost.
Yust use a different browser - try Brave browser and you will see no ads at all
100% agree with this. The amount of great content available on YouTube is incredible. Ive actually ditched all my sport TV subscriptions in favour of YouTube as the official highlights are available pretty quickly and I seldom have time to watch live anyway. I think YouTube premium is an absolute bargain. 
I’m not outraged about ads. I’m super fcking irritated at seeing the same GD ad literally hundreds of times for something I already purchased. it wouldn’t be so bad if the song in the ad wasn’t so insanely annoying.
as I’ve already explained it’s not on a browser. it’s on my Roku TV.
As others have mentioned, try using brave or other privacy oriented browser. It pretty much eliminates all ads on yt.
On the other hand, I would rather see ads for SketchUp, than the ones that are currently served to me: Crypto ■■■■, military calisthemic, Tai chi for men over 40…
My opinion of YT degrades every time I visit as a Guest. Last time I was there, I was catching up on an SU Live. Mixed in with all the listed SU video options was a video implying it contained Roman torture and execution methods! No wonder our kids are messed up if they’re stumbling across these kinds of videos.
I kind of get the commercial trend to be on board with YT, but if your (SU) customers are looking for official help and it comes with adverts for something you have no interest in, then for me I stop watching and searching. A software company I deal with recently sent me a link for a new product; one minute in I was being fed an advert. Never got past that and decided not to bother with the purchase. So who wins?
again, for the third time, it’s on Roku, not a browser.
Edit:
OP, you are a …
ffs. not roku screensaver ads. sketchup ads on the YouTube app on a roku TV.
YT premium is the best option if it’s a platform that you use the most.
