Yay!!!!

I want them to make use of the space around the video not over it. Once I can watch content in peace, I'll disable adblock on YouTube.

Also never understood long YouTube ads, most of the time, they've not even mentioned their name by the time I can skip it. They need to make more of an effort to squeeze a creative advert into 6 seconds. If Viners can do it, so can they.

Whoah whoah you all don't want to pay for youtube red? its a great service, super cheap, I use it all the time!

Which is what I would say if I felt it wasn't just a cheap copout and a load of nonsense! But wait it is adblock and ublock origins for the win!

Also if an ad does play when watching something on youtube, skip it if possible, and then back out of the video and go back in and the rest of the ads that might be present in the video will be gone least that works on the youtube app for xbox one and also works on my win10 pc

lol believe it when i see it.

Google can't even get YouTube to work correctly.

Google how about fixing what's broken first before adding anything new.

I also think that Google couldn't really care about fixing YouTube.

For once there's something that you and most people here can agree on; content creators deserve to be paid. I run ad-block 24/7 but I always make sure I white-list my go-to sites and channels to ensure they get what they deserve. The ad-block is primarily there to stop the annoying pop-ups and audio-playing ads that plague many random websites when I'm just roaming around for information.

I think it maybe the only time :lol:

 

[AlienALX]

I've been running the ads on here for a few months now. Makes the sides of the forum less barren lmao

Nah jokes aside I figured it was fair

 

[Greenback]

I whitelist all youtube channels I'm subbed to and a couple that I check in on every now and then and a couple of forums

I think it maybe the only time :lol:

I bet that hurts, actually being in agreement with so many on here

Why would it hurt, it's just text on my computer screen
