They seem to be tailor made to my locale, too.

I thought the point of Youtube was that it wouldn’t do that… so I’m confused about it.
I especially hate the ones by Vevo.
I don’t like it. It’s irritating when you have no choice but to wait for the advertisement to end, and it always comes on just before the video you want to watch, blaring, loud, and “in your face”. They are just using YouTube to exploit the young, impressionable people who frequent it.
I find it extremely annoying.
In an ideal world, I’d like to not have commercials. But Google’s got to make money.
So I’m alright with it.
I’m so sick and tired of commercials. I honestly dislike it, to the point of hatred. So I avoid YouTube as much as possible unless I need to look up a how to video to see how something is done.
It’s extremely annoying and I hate the practice. I tend to click off when the commercial comes on unless I really really want to see the clip.
They have been doing it for a few years. It wasn’t all videos just a tiny fraction of them. Maybe they expanded it. I don’t mind. Youtube costs a lot to run. They need to make money.
Its so annoying – we already have to deal with them on tv.
