Yeah, that's a drag...but at least the ones with the ads tend to be of better quality.
 
 
But what I hate is having to wade through the idiotic "parodies" to find what I want. 
 
Youtube, don't let teenagers post videos!  They always suck!!

Yes, this pisses me off too. The Internet was a nice place to watch videos, until some jerk came up with the "integrated ad" technology.

How long before Internet videos are just as bad as mainstream TV (if not worse, considering sites typically use the same ad for the longest time, as opposed to the variety on regular TV)?

I just mute them and look away.  Take that, stupid internet ads.

Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound, but I think we should not be able to work it. We should have to tame the human race first, and history seems to show that that cannot be done.

What I really hate are the radio-style audio ads that play after some videos. I especially hate the deep punchy voices they always use.

When I watch full episodes on Hulu or the network site, this frustrates me, even when I tell myself that it's only one 30 second commercial. If I were watching it on TV I'd have to sit through another five or six of 'em.

I just like the instant gratification of it all, and not having to worry about any commercial.

I love AdBlock plus, but there are some flash ads it can’t get rid of, so I also installed the Stop Autoplay plugin, which just leaves a blank screen with a play button where it would otherwise play the ad. That’s the nice thing about computers. You can sabotage any and every attempt for advertisers to seize control.
