Youtube : Way, way, way too many commercials on it now - GoFuckYourself.com

2MuchMark · 12-19-2012, 01:23 AM

I used to love Youtube, and didn't mind when the commercial started appearing... but over the past few months more and more seem to be popping up, and tonight, every second click gave me a commercial. Even worse, it was for things which were for the exact opposite of the content I was interested in.

Boo, Youtube! (I know you're watching GFY)

They missed revenue targets last quarter. I think it's a last minute push to make sure they beat it this quarter.

kane · 12-19-2012, 01:50 AM

The only time it really annoys me is if I get a 20 second commercial in front of a 30 second or less video.

d-null · 12-19-2012, 01:52 AM

used to be you could always click to skip the rest of the commercial, but lately they took that option away often, forcing you to watch the whole lousy 15 second commercial first

WTFBucks · 12-19-2012, 02:07 AM

really annoying cause the commercial is always twice as loud as the video I'm watching

AllAboutCams · 12-19-2012, 02:13 AM

way too many for a free service

DamianJ · 12-19-2012, 02:33 AM

They have to monetise somehow.

Would you pay for a premium ad free youtube? How much?

Mr Pheer · 12-19-2012, 02:49 AM

I use Chrome with the Adblock extension and I dont get any commercials on Youtube.

Dirty F · 12-19-2012, 03:01 AM

Only noobs get commercials on Youtube.

They block where the invideo ads are coming from.

If you don't like it - don't pay for it.

Oh wait..

CurrentlySober · 12-19-2012, 05:12 AM

Chrome + Add Block Plus = No sign of ANY Commercials whatsoever...

mopek1 · 12-19-2012, 05:15 AM

I don't mind ads but it's getting worse and worse.

seeandsee · 12-19-2012, 05:19 AM

I don't get commercials but now every vid is covered with an ad

Chris · 12-19-2012, 05:37 AM

i dont mind the ad's all that much i understand i use alot of bw for free

One thing i did notice is a handful of 30 second ad's are no longer skipable after 5 seconds that used to be

Good to hear that it's my Adblock Plus installation doing the work.

I wonder if clients still get charged for those blocked ads?

Ah but which is more annoying?

YouTube commercials

-or-

Spam/Hacking

Tom_PM · 12-19-2012, 09:28 AM

I don't mind because a) the advertiser is an idiot who uses 30 second+ commercials and I can skip those after 5, and ALWAYS do. Or b) the advertiser is realizing that the internet is not television and limiting to 15 second commercials and I let those play even if it has a skip option.

Support advertisers... it might be you.

Again, at first nobody seemed to mind the ads on youtube. It started to become annoying as it got progressively in-your-face.

It always works on Youtube, but sites like Hulu.com make you disable it before you can watch their free videos. I'm sure eventually Youtube will catch on.

We don't hate all tubes. Youtube will at least remove all the user's content after they are caught infringing on copyrights three times - "3 strikes". They are at least trying. The scumbags at Manwin haven't even done that much after years of people suggesting it to them. There has been one excuse after another. They know damn well what they are doing and in my opinion their lack of reasonable measures opens them up to a potentially successful lawsuit. The problem is no one wants to push it. Yet.

that still doesn't explain it, if a video is trying to play and you block the ip, it should still just hang there, but the way it efficiently skips the entire advertisements tells me there is something else going on, as if youtube's scripting is currently written to cooperate with the adblockers

Really? Wow I didn't know you could do that. Funny how Google gives you the tools to block their own ads.

I guess they have to make $$$ too

beemk · 12-19-2012, 03:42 PM

When you give away free porn content do you not put advertisements on it? They are in this to make money, don't be a fucking hypocrite.

Does seem that way. When I block an invideo ad it hangs for about 5 seconds and then plays the video. Some sort of fallback..

yeah, maybe it could be google's way of not breaking the whole video load if one part of the network doesn't serve?

shake · 01-27-2013, 01:12 PM

It's not just ads supporting youtube itself. For people publishing videos on youtube myself included, you have the option to link your adsense account and monetize the videos.

Adblock skips pandora and southparkstudios ads too

I don't mind the ads on YouTube.

I would hate to see their bandwidth bills.

Has YouTube ever made money yet ?

What really annoys me these days are autoplaying flash video ads.

Yup the same people that say downloading a torrent kills their revenue will happily block ads killing someone else's revenue.

If you don't like the ads don't watch YouTube.

The original poster didn't say he didn't like ads ... he said it was getting ridiculous.

I don't mind ads either. With Youtube they have the video on one side and a big square ad right beside it that you see all the time. That's fine.

It's when you 'have' to watch a commercial before a video (and it becomes frequent) AND you get this banner on the screen at the same time.

Nothing wrong with ads it's just getting to be a bit much.

Exactly this. Somebody needs to pay for all that bandwidth.

I noticed FB is packed with ads, especially on mobile. Sponsored stories that is.

Your not losing anywhere close to $6.30 unless your buying 100% chrome traffic.
