    No one cares about Single Muslims or Eric and Kijiji,etc.

    Why do you have to put in advertisements Youtube?!?!?!?! NOONE likes them!!! Haha, they get pretty annoying when you have to hear, "This is Eric. Eric wants to get rid of his stuff." *Waits for "Skip this ad now"...* :)

    How do you guys feel about Youtube ads? Do you like them or hate 'em?

    Haha I realize that but still... People would no ads rather than an ad every video that you watch... (but Youtube would never not take out ads...)

    Anywho, I'm rather grateful that YouTube has ads. It means that it stays free. I can handle waiting five to thirty seconds for my viewing pleasure.

    Plus, that's how a lot of users get their income. YouTube is ever becoming a sort of career, thanks to revenue generated from those ads. Just think that with every advertisement you're supporting the guy who created the video you're about to enjoy.

    I've honestly never seen a youtube ad inside a video except once. And that was when I didn't have adblock plus installed ;)

    You don't see any ads before a video begins?

    Yeah, but watching a 30 second ad for a 1-2 minute video is ridiculous. Imagine watching a 1 hour TV show and there were half an hour of ads crammed in between. For longer vids it is ok, but for short ones that I finish quickly and hop around a lot, I end up watching like half ads and half vids.

    Guess they had to do something I read they were losing millions a day can't really begrudge them.

    Not that I like ads but I dislike paying even more.

    I agree with the fact that ads provide a source of income for the YouTube/Google and the people making the videos. This keeps the service running and enables people to keep on providing some quality free video content because they get paid.

    Obviously I'd prefer if there weren't any ads, but there is no other way.

    I don't even get ads on every video anyway. :confused: It's only one every 5 or so videos.

    I've never, ever had an ad before a YouTube video either. I don't know if it's down to browser plugins or perhaps different countries getting different services, but I see a ton of complaints in the YT comments and I never knew what the hell they were moaning about.
