Youtube

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 ^ ^
