: Is it me....
: an4rch1 October 30, 2012, 02:59:01 AM
Or is Youtube getting more pushy with their advertisements ? I'm seeing more and more annoying advertisements for things that I could care less for and this seems to happen for every second or third video I click on ... :/

when I first got into Youtube, it seemed like it only showed advertisements for people without accounts but now it's everywhere and it's especially bad for channels that make money ... :/

Staff note: edit your posts. I thought I warned you before about this.

This needs to be moved to the "Bitch and Moan" board.. but yes. I agree, these ads are fucking insane.

Not only that! My cellphone YouTube is showing ads before playing a video and I'm unable to API them.... Video ads not uploaded users.. A separate video after which my phone plays.

Opera has a plugin to remove Youtube ads... doesn't bother me. And I don't want them on my phone.

I'm mad at YouTube, they forced me to have a Google+ account in order to have my channel. I don't like to log in for watching my favorites, so I have my favorites public. If I get rid of G+, my channel (along with playlists and everything) gets into "private mode". I had to re-open it (this is my 3rd G+ account on the same email...) so I could restore my channel, my uploaded videos, etc.

They are trying to pull a dead horse with that G+ annoying shit.

Google is getting worse.. Also as far as G+ I still refuse to get one and my phone pushes it on me as well. But they need some way to compete with Facebook and YouTube gives them that edge with how many youtube users there are

I don't really see the big deal with it. Get an ad blocker, or just deal with the ads. YouTube is a free service, how else are they going to make money and keep it free for us?


I know it can get a touch annoying on a phone though, cause some videos don't show because the ads don't load and forces me to watch the vid on a computer. But I deal with it.

Stuff like this pisses me off. They are offering a great free service, and when they try to make some money off it, people go insane. Server hosting/upkeep isn't free. If you don't like the ads please go and make your own video sharing site that doesn't make any revenue what-so-ever. See how long you last.

I like U-verse. I get a solid 12 mb/s down with a bandwidth cap that I go over almost every month and they don't care.

I wasn't talking about the internet, more the TV service, and I get faster speeds with comcast :P
