»Unskippable ads? What ads?
YouTube videos often start with 30-40 second unskippable ads that often hang up at 10 seconds left. They delay the video and on mobile, they delay the ability to change view from portrait to landscape. I have only seen ONE ad that pertained to something I MIGHT buy but won't.
I understand that this is Google's way of making money off of their investment as well as giving incentive to the content makers (which isn't very much) but their bugs, bad quality, and idiotic decisions make it annoying to sit through their ads. YouTube could easily put up banner ads and find a way to halt video playback until YouTube is whitelisted.
