So I am wondering how to be bad at using websites such as YouTube. For example, currently I do most of my youtube viewing on a Ruko Tv, where I never sign it, never comment, and never subscribe. When I select a video and an advertisement that is longer than 5 seconds shows up I will hit the back button and select the video again. I repeat this process till I get a the 5 sec ad or the video starts.
I assume this is not how google (or YouTubers) wish me to access their platform, but is there anyway I could be more disruptive to the business model?
Sounds like you are not being bad for the website, but for the advertisers, picking the most paying ones to sponsor your video watching time.
You might be slightly worse to the website, if instead of Atlanta, you were to travel around and decided to skip all the ads from a place where it’s barely economical for them:
