I'm sure someone has ranted on here before about it, but is anyone else getting annoyed at the influx of advertising on youtube the past months? Maybe its not new but I just started noticing them, the commercials that start playing automatically after you finish your video. I realize youtube is really expensive to run with all of the bandwidth required but come on, find a balance. I can't even watch a video these days, an advertisement comes up over your video taking up half of the screen, you exit that out, and another pops up. You finish watching it and then a commercial starts playing.

Yeah that ad shit that pops up from under pisses me off

They should implement a replay feature to compensate for it

Thats strange, i only get one add someimes and it doesn't fill half of the screen
Yeah its annoying that you get one after you finish watching tho.

i almost never get any adds, and they never auto play after my vid.

I've heard rumors of them losing a lot of money, that is, not profiting from the site so since recently there are a lot of ads.

I am sure the ads pop out when your watching time reaches the yellow bar.

Just when you near it get read for that little pop up and "X" it out

Annoying I know, so you just have to find ways to get around it

It's no surprise. Even imeem has audio ads on their songs now.

This. They've reached the same dilemma as facebook: they have a huge monopoly, but they have yet to find an unobtrusive and effective means to capitalize on it.

Now I don't personally think they should sell, it just might be advisable. Perhaps. Google is smart, they'll figure something out ^ ^
