    Anyone else notice adds popping up in the middle of YouTube vids? Bloody annoying. What's going on.

    I've noticed more ads too. They have probably figured out a way to bypass adblock software.

    For You-Tube To Be Free They Have To Get Money From Somewhere.......Unfortunatly They

    Place These Add's In The Middle Of The Video Which Totally Spoils It.

    Why Not Do What Other Websites Do......And That's To Put Them At The Beginning

    Of The Clip......With NO OPTION To Skip Straight To The Video......:smileycat:



    Cheers Glen.

    Google in general is getting more annoying

    More ads through all google owned apps it seems

    Unfortunately no one wants to seem to bother with a linux distro for smartphones

    For YouTube download an ad blocker.

    I was getting this every single song last week until I put ad blocker in my google Chrome set up and never heard one again. :)

    My ad blockers seem to be working fine. Using Torch or Chrome browser with the Chrome "AdBlock" extension. Browsed to youtube, clicked on one video... AdBlock shows that 12 ads were blocked.

    Yeah, it sure does that. Not all videos do it. I don't know how they decide which ones to pepper with advertisements.

    Thanks for that correction. And I'm the one studying to be a proofreader. I always thought "Adds" just looked better, but it is in fact wrong. I'll remember this one. There is always something new to learn.
