HankHell2400
My reaction was to install adblocker. Now they get no fucking money at all. Your move, youtube, you greedy piece of shit.
MrPredator
Until the BS ends, No-Script and Ad-Blocker + will stay on my PC. I will find a way around the ads, through the blocks, through the BS.
Digimontana
This is why we use AdBlock.

RobBobertyYT
As a very small youtuber who hates this shit, all my videos are set to not show those.

If more people on Youtube were like you, I'd probably still spend hours watching Let's Plays on there lol

Yes it is annoying, however nothing is free. Calm down. :P

I boycott all products that have ads on YouTube that do this.

What's an "ad"? - Me, using uBlock ad blocker.
Calicoastin818
What ads? I use a special file and ad cock blockers fuck your ads :p

HalloIamherenow
Then it closes the tab your video was in, so you hit 'back' to get back to it and have to sit through another ad.
Applepotamus
DontAskAboutMyDay
And when you accidentally replay the add instead of closing it
ReverseTrapTsukasa
Or when it plays the ad for 4 seconds and freezes and refueses to resume, or loops as the ad is loading and loops the timer for the skip.
ReverseTrapTsukasa
The laptop the previous comment was based on is now truly and thoroughly dead.

Ublock Origin extension for Firefox and Chrome. Get it.
agustusgloop
Also for mobile users: Chrome doesn't support extensions, but Firefox mobile does. Disable chrome, install Firefox and install ublock origin
t3hcynic
Yes indeed! A little more: you can run YouTube through mobile Firefox, and you can find old versions of the Flash app to make that work.

Or the ad plays IN THE MIDDLE of the video
asquidandahole
YouTube Red my friend, came with the music subscription and comes in handy
Therealhawkguy
Agreed. Many people make a living off creating videos you love. Either watch the ads or pay a bit. Don't fuck over the creators you enjoy.
ira7
Yeah google music is just as good or better than Spotify and no ads
timewastingiswhatido
or the "skip ad" timer is as long or (sometimes) longer the the ad itself. http://imgur.com/Oj416YX
ScaryScarab
This all the way. Why the fuck have the skip function in the first place?!
FajitaPrinceofAllMexicans
It's a dick move to keep your attention, you'd ignore it better if they didn't have it, like the one in question on this post's title.
ImguriansFillMySaltReservoir
or the ad is longer than the video and skip is disabled
NegroEspia
Ok. That is hell
RobertNAdams
I refresh. If I can't get around it, I don't watch it. I don't negotiate with terrorists.
imnotinprisonhidingaphoneinmybutt

funny! im watching american dad right now

It's 30 seconds tops.

I don't. Negotiate. With terrorists.
cpnbeeb
Mobile or are you foolish enough not to use an ad blocker?
DavidBrooker
I use DNS-level adblock on my home network. Kills ads on mobile, chromecast, and PCs.
geiokami
Mobile has ad blocker
AliitOriShyaTalDin
Adblock plus has a browser for mobile, works pretty well.
Seyavash
Apparently, this is something that happens when you have an ad blocker activated, sometimes it even skips to the next video...
abeu
Personally, I prefer to support content creators. Ad-block prevents them getting what they deserve for making videos.
agustusgloop
Nope. I speak for the creators, myself being one. Install uBlock Origin. Have no sympathy. Creators don't. Unless u r reg. commenter, then..
AmachiHitsugi
I actually turned it off for YouTube to support the people I subscribed to but now I may need to turn it back on because of this.
Applepotamus
TheRealBertyz

iAintNoSynthDammit
so many websites are getting adblock blockers and im yet to find an adblock blocker blocker
DefinetlyNotARussianSpy
How many adblockers could an adblocker blocker block if an adblocker blocker could block adblockers?
agustusgloop
uBlock origin. Get it. Then Adguard for mobile. Or free, Use Firefox mobile because it supports extensions (chrome m doesn't) and install UO
ZeroZeta
Mobile here. :'(
Wolfos
If you have an iPhone just search 'adblocker' in the app store.
lebaux
Hi fellow android user - use firefox, that allows to use extensions, like ublock origin.
talktomedirty
Download Adguard in the AppStore or Google Play. Follow instructions. Profit. (Limited to only adverts on the browser.)
sexyGandalf12
What's a good ad blocker ?
cpnbeeb
ublock origin
foxfire1112
ad blocker plus
UnknownSquid
This is downvoted? Am I behind the times when it comes to ad-blockers? Anyone able to offer some insight on why/what is a good/bad choice?
killernerd
they sold out, they have a whitelist of sites that are allowed to play ads. Also anyone who pays them can get on the whitelist. Fuck them.
foxfire1112
I literally don't know why, I get 0 ads. Kinda funny
MagicalScientist
Adblock plus has a whitelist of ads from people that give them money.
MoistenedPenguin
I don't use an ad blocker on YouTube because I want to support the creators. You should consider doing the same.
niggakawaii
Said no one ever
killernerd
I considered it and then concluded I wouldn't. On the other hand, I support my fav youtubers via patreon so there's that.
RobBobertyYT
I don't know why this got downvoted. Fuck you for supporting content creators you like I guess?
perseco
Nope. There are better ways.
bsthrowawayacc
No.
foxfire1112
Nope. As soon as they stop having ads that auto play sound or lock up my computer. Until then, ad blockers
LarryTesler
Yes, video ads on YouTube have sound.
eclect0
I mean yeah, to an extent, but unskippable, annoying, and completely irrelevant ads waste their money and your time simultaneously.
EpicHat
I never had problems with ads for the longest time but then the same ads would play 5+ times in a row now I use ublock origin.
heril
As soon as the video for advertisements doesn't count against my data cap.
Itani
Fuck off cunt
GngrbrdMan
Fucking oath
imbitteraboutit
Nah, fuck ads in videos... also, Youtube is the one decreasing payouts.
Brobuscus115
Doesnt google take a ridiculous percent of the profits? The dudes who originally made youtube would have way more money if they ignored 1/2
Brobuscus115
Google but made similar policies.
keyserv
Youtube breaks even for Google. It's a terrible business model.
Racealistic
I would have sold it then and there as well. They didn't have the resources and tech of google at the time so Youtube wouldn't have grown /1
Racealistic
As big as it is right now if they were still in charge imo. Besides I'm sure they're going like this:
/2
ColoneISanders
There are far better ways to support creators than wasting people's time.
LeviSmith
youtube red is great for that, and if you have it, no need for adblocker, it removes them
JeffreyBarter
People watch Youtube not only from the US and Canada.
LeviSmith
well yeah, I was just suggesting something for a large group of people who would be here I guess. But patreon or donations are good too
CapnMerica123
Like what?
[deleted]
[deleted]
CapnMerica123
What if you don't have money to donate? Watching an ad is completely free and supports youtubers.
cpnbeeb
Fuck exposing yourself to known attack vectors for any reason.
SlagathorTheThird
Yeah it's surely the YouTube videos, not the 30gb of porn I am torrenting in the background
MoistenedPenguin
You don't get viruses from watching YouTube ads, so long as you don't click anything. And you don't need to click it for them to get money
RetailArchaeology
I've never run ad blocker, don't skip ads on YouTube videos, and have never had a virus. 30+ years online, never a single virus.
eclect0
If you don't willingly expose yourself to viruses you're basically a communist.
HadMeSomeChickens
Well, as a communist I suppose I should get an ad blocker.
LeviSmith
Better get rid of your internet connection then
BrotherofTheNightsWatch
Fxnow doesn't play the video if there's an adblocker. They are getting smarter.
flyingdutchfrenchman
Not smarter, that's really easy to detect. But youtube would never choose to do that, it would be a disaster.
Remmon1
Do they take full and complete responsibility for the content of their advertisements? No? You should stop using that site.
o11c
Sounds like you need an adblocker-blocker-blocker. Or if you already have one, you need to update your rules.
GentlemanScientist
Use NoScript in addition to it and allow only what you want.
GasBandit
That's why the good lord gave us Bittorrent.
MichaelBay
A fucking men bro
LetumComplexo
BitTorrent, for when you want a virus *and* your internet connection throttled!
PredatorApex
Only if you don't remove trackers. I've used BitTorrent for 4 years and never once had that issue.
GasBandit
I said Bittorrent, not Limewire. If you get a virus from a torrent you just need to sell your computer and live in a mud hut :P
DoctorDelta
Roku doesn't have an ad blocker :(
bentwrenches
Download Xtv. Tons of content, zero ads. I can tell you how to get porn on it too.
cookiesnatcha
Tell me how to get midget clown rocking horse porn on it.
bentwrenches
Go to the Roku website and find the search content box. Type in porn, download. It will give you a channel with a dozen other channels...
bentwrenches
... All with dozens of categories. I haven't looked for your specific kink, but wouldn't be surprised if it was there.
kibal4ish
Pi hole. And it will suck ads from all devices.
DoctorDelta
My university doesn't allow devices like that on campus. Only whitelisted devices are allowed to use the campus wifi.
bushpotato
I usually just close the window and look elsewhere. I'm not going to be bothered by ads, and they won't get my service because of it.
Odey555
I refresh the page and that usually removes the ad, sometimes I gotta refresh a couple times but screw ads honestly
ScorchMechanic
Use an adblocker. Most people only think they're not bothered by ads. Once they start they never stop.
GuylnTheBack
Just do stuff on your phone until it passes
bushpotato
Though I understand what you're trying to say, I really don't use my phone for much outside of calls and texts.
supersomatic
But you will engage in the content which the ad funds. I really can't wait till everything goes the way of youtube red.
Schwaka0
Same! When the option is presented, I always pay to have no ads. There are far too many intrusive ads these days.
ATalkingMushroom
You're that impatient? Ads that say that last 15 seconds max.
bushpotato
I'm certainly far from impatient, I just don't like ads being forced upon me. I don't mind them if they mind themselves.
CGagunga
If we're are talking YouTube videos. Then honestly that is a shitty attitude to have. Don't watch monetized content if you can't handle ads.
bushpotato
It's not shitty at all. I don't like it, so I don't use it. That's how any service works. I'm not pissed, I just move on.
CGagunga
Well then that's okay. I forgot the part about you leaving, and not staying. That makes it a fair stand :)
derpz007
They arent recieving any "service" at all without the ads, so skipping ads is kinda like sneaking into the movie theatre without paying.
bushpotato
I'm fine with ads, but not ads that prevent me from using the service by forcing me to view them. It's why I don't watch TV.
AllSystemsNominal
I just press refresh 13 times before it plays the video without an ad on the 14th try. The worst are the 2 minute movie trailer ads.
odraencoded
Your... service? I'm sorry, what service?
bushpotato
I apologize, I was trying to convey that I would not use sites that feature obtrusive advertisements.
VincentVolaju
to ad agencies you are the product and they are selling you to companies. you have the right to deny them that. "service"was not correcthere
odraencoded
That's right but if you don't feel like being the product and you don't feel like paying for the product then idk what you want.
ooohwee
How do you expect website creators to make their money?
PoeKneeTa
We know how they make money but we simply don't care because ads can go suck dicks
supersomatic
millennials lel
PoeKneeTa
Like you're any different, lol. Ads are intrusives and being "entitled" has forced advertisers to finally be more creative with ads.
BloodyCrowOfCainhurst
For the lulz
PoeKneeTa
Like you're any different, lol. Ads are intrusives and being "entitled" has forced advertisers to finally be more creative with ads.
zellar2020
Fucking age of entitlement... holy shit. Lol
PoeKneeTa
Not entitled at all. Besides, all my browsing data is packaged and sold to advertisers anyway, so they still profit in some way. Win/win.
Schwaka0
I'd gladly pay to ditch ads, and some sites aren't bad, but others go way too overboard with ads. The amount of intrusive ads is insane.
JohnnyTitelips
Or, or, or, and hear me out here... Adblock.
TheNax
Ublock Origin
bushpotato
I have adblock. Thanks for the sarcasm though, sometimes software fails or sites require whitelisting.
ricksanchezes
use Ublock, it's a more effective adblocker
JohnnyTitelips
I don't use sites that require Adblock to be disabled.
bushpotato
I don't as well. I used to use Hotslogs. Forbes requires it, but they have really non obtrusive ads so I still use the site no problem.
JohnnyTitelips
Forbes still pisses me off though because you have to go to the next page after every 5 words.
username12345678
Love adblock but I enjoy the youtube app on my phone. Wish I could have both
Schwaka0
You can install an ad blocker on your phone as well.
JohnnyTitelips
There's an app.
TheDivineUsersub
Adblock was the best thing I've ever put on a computer, second only to Avast.
EngineerZero
Have you noticed how avast has started spamming its services lately? I get heaps of pop ups from it.
TheDivineUsersub
Considering how many trojans it's blocked, idgaf about its popups.
AlexDice2
I would recommend Avira,it has a really high catch rate,if your pc can't handle it,Microsoft Security Essentials will do.
Honeybadger2198
Dude avast has super annoying popups. As long as you don't go to any sketchy sites or click any sketchy links, Windows Defender is fine.
TheDivineUsersub
"don't go to any sketchy sites" lollllllllllll
nineteen85
What's the point of being on the internet then?
JohnnyTitelips
Avast?
TheDivineUsersub
Anti-virus program. Free. Blocks so many bad things. <3
JohnnyTitelips
How's the quality compared to the basic Windows one?
Tkeleth
free antivirus
ImgurisluvImgurislife
Avast is godsend
ImakeAnewAccountEverytime
Mine seemed to stop working on several sites. Like norwegian online newspapers. They usally have 30 seconds of ads play before they show it
JohnnyTitelips
Some sites have started using adblock blockers. There are adblock blocker blockers, though.
ImakeAnewAccountEverytime
And they never include link to original. Always some stupid youtube video that lasts 5 seconds
vyriep
You might want to try Ublock Origin, it may help.
analyticmonkey
I have a friend who consciously does not use AdBlock, because he wants to support the YouTubers that he watches. Thoughts?
HelloIAmAnInnocentBystander
I prefer to whitelist content I support rather than suffer from obnoxious and/or dangerous ads everywhere.
Tylvian
Moot point, unless their massive, it doesn't matter monetarily. They need to find another revenue. unless your in the top 100 or so, 1/2
Tylvian
fame alone won't get you shit on youtube. You have to sell products or offer services or direct them to an actual reason to spend money.
JohnnyTitelips
He's supporting YouTube by doing that, and a small fraction of the money made from those ads goes to supporting his favorite channels. (1/2)
BellCranel
So instead of a small fraction of the money going to his favorite channels you would prefer that no money goes to them?
JohnnyTitelips
If it means I don't have to see ads? Yeah, I do.
JohnnyTitelips
That's like saying that you're going to pay extra for stuff at Walmart because you like the cashiers there.
TheUsernameIsSoLongThatYouCantActuallySeetheSpanishinquisition
40% is not that bad and using addblock it's like taking something for free insead of paying, how much time can you expect to find that
Politicallyincorrectt
Thats a horrible comparison, its more like giving a waiter a tip but the restaurant take 50% from it
