 Topic: Youtube: Ads loading, videos notPosted: 29 Nov 2011 at 10:09pm |

I have extremely slow internet speed, and God forbid I want to watch a 3 minute video, right? Well, before every video I want to watch, there's always those 5-second commercials. I wouldn't mind hearing about Betty White's "Hot in Cleveland" or whatever the f*ck it's called, IF THE DAMN THING WOULD LOAD!!! But these integrated ads are making it so that the video loads FIRST, while I have to wait 15 minutes for the 5-second ad to play.

And by the way, I was trying to watch 2NE1's English version of "Can't Nobody" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQEabAesufg).
Either their demographics ratings are way off, or fans of edgy Korean girl groups really like Betty White.

Oh, I know. I hate those, so I avoid any "official" videos because those always have the ads. I have a slightly higher tolerance lately because I watch LiveStream, but it still irritates me.

Please, stop saying "Awesome" in commercials! Your actors are not awe-inspiring and neither is your product.

I still remember when the Internet was a safe haven to watch videos without having to be tortured by ads. I hope whoever invented integrated ads knows they destroyed a once-beautiful aspect of the Internet.

2NE1 has a video for the English version?
The ads are really annoying. I wouldn't mind if they were actually helpful (watch this ad while your video loads, so you don't have to wait every millisecond while it randomly stops to keep loading). Honestly, I just download PVs now-a-days. Yeah, I have to wait 30 minutes sometimes, but I can watch it whenever I want, it never gets 'pulled' due to copyright, and I can watch it on anything without quality suffering (like downloading a flv from youtube, converting it to another file, then having it re-converted to fit properly on a certain device.)

^^Sure you can.
That works on IE and I use an AdBlock Plus App on Chrome.

Hating it. Once I tried watching an episode of Dexter's Lab and--AD POPS UP!!!
I want to destroy ads. But then I can't watch shows online or in real life.
