well, well, well and they wonder why we all end up turning to the “illegal” sites. I feel sorry for the people who have small amounts of downloads, In australia some people pay AU$30 a month and get less than a gig download so like #7 Jeunas said are these people going to waste 30s worth of download for a 9s video.

This whole YouTube is a copyright holders worst nightmare, the damn thing should be declared illegal and shut down already.

All it does is provide a forum for stolen workz.

As it said in the post, not all videos will have ads:
“Not all YouTube videos are fodder for the program”.

Starting to hate YouTube, the quality of vids is shocking, wish they would make a higher quality version.

Jesus, ads are getting more and more common.

Luckily there are those willing to program ways to get around them. (maybe not for google video but for other things…)

You think many ppl will enjoy watching a 30sec commercial just to be able to watch a 9sec clip about some skateboarder who rails his nuts?

@GaMeR: You were ironic, right? Those redirecting ads are really irritating. I’m sure Adblock might stop that, by I haven’t got around to install that yet.

I dont think adblock will be able to remove them. Because they say the ads are embedded in the video.

That’s exactly what people need to improve their YouTube experience… More SPAM. Great move! Let’s hope AdBlock Plus will stop all this unwanted content.
