sometimes i receive even ads in my mailbox!

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.

commercials? Use the ad-block browser plugin. tawdaaaaaah

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

Nothing is for free, its a business model that doesnt work.

What he said....

How dare they!!! trying to monetize on a free Service and a Tube site that Hosts Millions of Videos?:1orglaugh

This is the same issue we're having in Porn btw :Oh crap

Last I recall, you were a business of some sort correct? Or are you just a hobbyist??

At what point do you draw the line with freeloaders? Everyone has bills to pay. Including Google.

If you do not want ads popping up on your websites and videos, pay for a premium service. If a couple of bucks a month to live annoyance free is too much of a hardship on your budget, it sounds to me like you need to rethink your life.

:2 cents:

This is a problem advertisers should fix. They need something like a counter to estimate how many minutes of video have been watched and then they need to limit it to no more than one 30 second commercial per five minutes of video. As it is now if I know the video is short and they pop a 30 second commercial I can't skip then I just close the video and go somewhere else.

Was just a basic example

Haha this explains all, shut a fuck up and take it like a man :)

unreal. being forced to watch 5 seconds of a commercial is some kind of hardship, for people who are supposed to understand the need for monetization? wtf is going on with people's mindsets?

Not as bad as dailymotion who has adds with sound that you cant turn off.
