^ this. All of it. It’s death by a thousands cuts and just shows the incredible amount of greed they have (not shareholder value, it’s bloody greed).

I understand that we exist under capitalism and that it costs money to host and distribute these videos.
I’m willing to pay for access to this service by letting an ad play (probably while I’m pouring a glass of water in another room and have my speakers off).
What gets me is a 3 minute ad on a 44 second video. Interrupting the middle of a sentence with an ad is also annoying. Placing a 30 second ad in the middle of a song can also fuck right off.
Find an appropriate spot for your ad, and make it’s length sensible with regards to the length of the content I’m watching. Or just don’t offer an ad supported tier of your service.

The inability to rewind without activating ads was what really got me back in the day. Nobody wants to call over their friend to watch something cool/funny, only to have the clip trigger an ad when they restart it.

Fuck I hate this.
I run into this most often on sites for TV shows and movies myself.
