Too many ads on Youtube!
 

Is it just me or has Youtube gone apeshit with ads? While looking around and trying to watch about 10 clips I saw 10 full length ads that I could not end early. Suck!

Yes i noticed that the other day. Very annoying.

Adblock on Chrome

They want to be more like TV.

it really sucks when you have your playlist running and have to stop what you are doing to skip some annoying 6 minute ad - repeatedly!!!!

shit i'm just watching a long video and now they have ads every few minutes just like tv.

well that fucking sucks.

Yeah...it's VERY annoying. I know they have to make money but damn does it suck having to repeatedly skip ads on every video and then they have those long advertisements you can't skip.

I'll be watching a youtube video that has the sound kinda low so I will turn up my speakers and BAM a loud as shit commercial comes on.

Not only do you have all the commercials, but you'll get popup adsense ads as well in the same video arrrrgggghh

lame as tv shows are built around commercials. these just drop in the middle of whatever. it's fucking jarring.

fuck you youtube for fucking up my free shit.

yes i like ads. i like ads, and i like spam, and i also like waiting, and i most like interrupting and waiting :)

Almost as annoying as redirects or pop ups,it's all about revenue

i would sue them

I use AdBlock Plus and I do not even remember Youtube ads exist lol, need to be reminded by threads like this.

Same. Haven't seen any of these ads yet.

Yep, plus one. I like it so much, I even donated :thumbsup

ADBLOCK LINKY...

people, why do you block ads, when you are in ads business? i am doing my banners and my own creatives and without knowing what is now flying around i will be like blind. congrats on your ads blocking proggies and have luck everyone :)

Because I wear two hats -
Hat 1 - Webmaster
Hat 2 - Surfer

Wearing Hat 1, I have multiple browsers installed - (For checking purposes)

If I browse for Business, I wear my webmaster hat, and do not have adblock installed.
If I browse for pleasure - Hat 2 - I DO have adblock installed...

I like to know what others are up too, but I am smart enought to avoid the bullshit myself...

Simples....

or alternatively you can buy a proxy from a shitty country where they don't show any ads

wait wait wait.... don't you know you cannot post logical, actual information like this that might even make sense??? two hats??? :1orglaugh

It's actually really evil, when your playlist is all Sesame Street and Elmo videos, and then all of a sudden a women's cosmetic commercial comes on and your kid fusses. :Oh crap

yep, those fuckers got me with their ad..... oh no, what to do, people trying to sell shit on the internet. lol

and seeing the reaction of webmasters to youtube ads in this thread... my goodness what do porn surfers think about sites these days. lol ouch.

White people problems

Its grown more annoying lately, I agree. Some of them last for more than 30 seconds too which is extra annoying.

It's always entertaining to read the plight of freeloaders.

I'm sorry. I thought YouTube/G was a for-profit business. The end goal was to make money.

:2 cents:

I tend to cache longer clips and watch them from the cache for better quality. Side effect is no ads during the clip, but it's a bit of a pain in itself.
But the better quality partners get to have ads, so thats how the ball bounces.

youtube sucks

I don't like to moan too much about free stuff... ;-)

Is youtube making money yet or are they still losing insane amounts?

hmm good tip. i watch a lot of documentaries while working and this is annoying. i almost jump out of my chair the ads are so loud.


would not care as much if the sad flow was better. this is just primitive.

It's getting worse day by day

Great solution, just got it myself works great, have it set just to block adds on youtube :D

Indeed, I hate ads in YouTube and I just keep on clicking the X to close those annoying bastards.
