    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

                          really annoying cause the commercial is always twice as loud as the video I'm watching

                                  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.

Or b) the advertiser is realizing that the internet is not television and limiting to 15 second commercials and I let those play even if it has a skip option.

Youtube will at least remove all the user's content after they are caught infringing on copyrights three times - "3 strikes". They are at least trying. The scumbags at Manwin haven't even done that much after years of people suggesting it to them. There has been one excuse after another. They know damn well what they are doing and in my opinion their lack of reasonable measures opens them up to a potentially successful lawsuit. The problem is no one wants to push it. Yet.

They are in this to make money, don't be a fucking hypocrite.

With Youtube they have the video on one side and a big square ad right beside it that you see all the time. That's fine.

                                                                                                                                                                                  It's when you 'have' to watch a commercial before a video (and it becomes frequent) AND you get this banner on the screen at the same time.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Nothing wrong with ads it's just getting to be a bit much.
