i stopped using YouTube a while ago, can't stand those Ads
Google claims they need to run Ads in order to "support" bandwidth" which would be ok if they did it for 5 min. plus videos only or something
Google taking over YT killed it for me, watching a 30 sec. ad for a 2-3 min. video....really  |

| I agree that watching ads sucks, but where do you think the money for running the business comes from? Ads are a necessary evil if you want free content. |

But it wasn't "necessary" to put them directly over the video screen though. That was a choice, and an annoying one at that (for the user anyway). |

Man people are a bunch of whiners these days.
A dozen years ago there was nothing like youtube. Heck, a bunch of us were probably still on dial-up.
Oh woe is me, I have to sit through a quick commercial.
Seriously, when I hear gripes like this I have to ask if the person whining even has a clue how the real world works and the fact that you need money to pay for things.
Here's an idea- before you whine, stop to think and ask why things are the way they are.
Don't we all have tabbed browsers? Just read some random wiki article on another tab.
What an impatient society that 30 seconds is torture... |

google have also managed to sneak their toolbar onto every add-on, wether you request it or not. I have to keep uninstalling it. |

That doesn't even make sense. Is Steelrails now the official apologist for everything? I mean, Google is a US company, so it isn't like Steelrails is defending Korea. |

Maybe I just don't like people who whine and moan about everything under the sun and blame everyone else for their problems and do nothing to adapt or deal with it.
Sorry to break the bad news, but youtube doesn't love you and exist to make you happy. |

I'm completely with Steelrails on this one (alert the media!). Most of us are old enough to remember having to sit through 5 hours of terrible music videos just to see the one or two we liked as teenagers. Missing something awesome on TV? Too bad! Never going to see it again! Now everything's a click away and people are complaining about having to sit through a 10-30 second ad to see it? Come on.
Reminds me of this Louis CK bit "We live in an amazing world and it's wasted on the crapiest generation of spoiled idiots.":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8r1CZTLk-Gk |
