Annoying YouTube AdvertisementsWhat's wrong Youtube? You wants to replace TV but have to say your ads are extremely irritating. Advertisements in the middle of videos? Get a life YouTube! |

Agreed. It's so irritating when I use someone else's computer and they don't have Adblock. I totally forget that Youtube even has advertisements. |

yeah wife tiring watching youtube on the ipod and the ads are BS. Sometimes an ad does slip in even with adblock. |

Being in an HTML5 trial seems to help too. |

Don't most TV programs have commercials/ads? So I would say YouTube is doing a great job "replacing" TV.
BTW, without the ads/commercials, how do you expect YouTube to pay for the servers, data connections? |

I actually didn't mind the non-invasive text ads Google used to put on YouTube a long time ago.
But I guess these text ads didn't yield high enough revenue so they had to switch to something a little more in-your-face?
Ads before/during or on top of a video, screw that, I adblock that shit.
If I wanted to waste my time watching video ads, I'd just go watch regular TV. |

Google has means of paying for everything themselves. They can throw out money putting down fiber and buildouts without blinking. it's not an issue. |

I'd beg to differ. Have you ever visited a google farm tour? They must spend billions on those operations. There's no free lunch, something has to give.
In England you pay a tax on your TV yearly, but they have less ads (?) Something has to pay for it. |

How much do you pay for internet? Who do you pay? Do you pay these sites? No. You only pay a tiny fraction of what it really costs. Try to be realistic. Business has to somehow earn money. |

There's no obligation on my part to look at, listen to, or otherwise sit through ads. |

Business has to somehow earn money. Until and unless advertisers pay me for the metered bandwidth that their obnoxious ads use up, I will use every legal means at my disposal to block their content from ever using up my bits. I see it as no different than flipping the channel while watching TV or otherwise ignoring the obnoxious come ons from the "advertising box" that TV has become (and why I finally dropped cable TV altogether) NefCanuck |

"LA Times website redirected users to exploit kit for over six weeks" » www.net-security.org/sec ··· id=14420"Ads--the new malware delivery format" » news.cnet.com/8301-27080 ··· 245.htmlYep, an article from 2009 but still applicable. I do whitelist sites and will allow their ads to appear. But make sure all the security software is up to date and running. my $.03 |
