• Youtube's new 3 minute ad

Wow, never expected this to happen.
At least it was a reach ad. :D No but seriously all you have to do is refresh the page. Also, this shit is pissing me off, ads in videos didn't occur too often, but now fucking [i]every[/i] video site I see now has ads...
Refresh that shit!
Try running enough servers to stream HD videos simultaneously to millions of people worldwide without running into any financial issues. Quit your bitching, the only reason other video hosting sites don't have as many ads is because there are so few videos on them. Since they have little content, their costs are low and they need not worrying as much about advertising.

It's owned by Google, what else can you expect.
I only get ads on 'official' videos, like a on a bands video.

How about a thirty minute ad(I got one before watching Thriller). It was a full episode of a complete shit show. [editline]12:25PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Nikarial;24386923]+1 for adblock I can't imagine surfing the web without adblock[/QUOTE] Please tell me how to disable youtube ads with it.

I have to do everything manually, and that disables my ability to move boxes and delete videos from my subscriptions box. Also if I want to disable video ads, I'd have to disable the video player itself.
Longer video, longer ads. Shorter video, shorter ads. Do the math..
[QUOTE=harrymcc;24375553]I heard if you press 0:01 in comments it skips the adverts never really remembered to try[/QUOTE] It does I think, but for a while now I can't use any times posted in comments. I would click it and it would just scroll back up to the video, not changing anything.

Since no one's linked it yet. [url]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865/[/url] AdBlocker Plus, never have to deal with ads again. Except on Facepunch because Facepunch won't work unless you disable ABP.

It's incredible youtube has survived for so long without ads tbh... I don't care about them, the people running the servers need to be paid some way.

We don't like adverts on our videos, that doesn't mean we don't see they're necessary.
matey9 found a workaround worth trying. It utilizes the fact that Youtube's watch_popup expects you to have already gone through the ads. You can see it here, [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=982330[/url].

I love adblock. It blocks Youtube's crap ads.
