    Youtube : Way, way, way too many commercials on it now

    I used to love Youtube, and didn't mind when the commercial started appearing... but over the past few months more and more seem to be popping up, and tonight, every second click gave me a commercial. Even worse, it was for things which were for the exact opposite of the content I was interested in.

    Boo, Youtube! (I know you're watching GFY)

        They missed revenue targets last quarter. I think it's a last minute push to make sure they beat it this quarter.

          The only time it really annoys me is if I get a 20 second commercial in front of a 30 second or less video.

            used to be you could always click to skip the rest of the commercial, but lately they took that option away often, forcing you to watch the whole lousy 15 second commercial first

                  They have to monetise somehow.

                  Would you pay for a premium ad free youtube? How much?

                        thanks for the tip, didn't realize it would work with in-video ads

                        how do they do that?

                          They block where the invideo ads are coming from.

                            Adblock Plus... It doesn't work on every site but it's pretty good.

                            In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.
