    YouTube has so many ads now it’s ridiculous. Yesterday YouTube threatened me with the popup even though I have UBlock on Firefox. I’ve seen 10 ads on a 20 minute video. As if the un-skipabble 2 minute long ads that pause when you switch tabs wasn’t bad enough, YouTube is now putting ads in their Premium.

    YouTube is in dire need of a big competitor and fast.

      Yeah. Lately in 20min chunks I’ve been getting about 4 ad breaks, so if it’s an hour+ in length…

      And some of those ‘ads’ are 3min, 5min…one was almost 2hrs! Yes, there’s the skip button, but if it’s that long then it’s not an ad and it has no place in an ad break.
