commercials on youtube

[3dman27]

if you visit youtube you'll notice they have started having commercial interuptions during certain videos
now I can only speak for myself but I visit sites like youtube to avoid interuptions do you??

 

[Dave McFly]

I only get the interruptions when I watch the video on a mobile device they have had them before certain videos for years now

Various videos have always had commercials for me....they have always been less of them than on regular TV so I haven't minded it.

I use the ad blocker for Youtube so I get nothing.

not even the videos ?

I encourage people to allow ads to play for your favourite youtubers. They ask for 15-30 seconds of your time, TV asks you to sit through for 20 mins of ads every hour. The more ads people sit through the more money their favourite content creator can make on YouTube.

I don't know about YT breaks, but this menu / festive food one on here is [BLACKOUT]bloody annoying and getting on my ****.[/BLACKOUT]

Oh of course I get the videos, I just don't get ads/commercials. Haven't had any in a couple of years.

I'll say this, whatever they are advertising, I flat out refuse to buy. The ad actually has the opposite effect on me.

Adblock Plus pretty much stops me from seeing any of them while I'm on a labtop however when I'm watching YouTube on my Blu-Ray player which is now my preferred method as it's hooked up to a huge TV it's hard not to be annoyed by the constant barrage of adverts.

They aren't bad at all. An hour video two MAYBE three no longer than 30 seconds. Come on.

 

[SPO2 Dalisay]

It isn't so much the length of the advertisements but the timing of when they come. Traditional TV is produced with commercial breaks in mind so unless a show is syndicated and they try to squeeze in extra ads they do come in natural breaks in the action

 

[3dman27]

I do not mind ads bookending videos [after all advertisers DO have to make a living ] but at commercial interutpions I draw the line

Waiting for someone to vote "yes"...

Youtube and internet has become so corperate like television.
