YouTube adverts

[sooey]

Has anybody else experienced the skip ad option on YouTube disappearing?
You have to sit through the whole ad now before watching your chosen video.

I think that depends on the YouTube channel.

My guess is there is an option to have non skip adverts, maybe it gets higher revenue.

Some of the videos you have to sit through two ads. You can be watching three minutes of adverts for a video that only lasts a minute or two, it's ridiculous.
Thank god for the alternatives...Rumble, ******** and GabTV.

Rarely go on you tube, other than when I'm linked to it on here. Are you trying to raise money for Trumps trial lawyer?

Revenues are down and views are up, so advertising is increasing. They made a mistake, when they introduced a subscriber/view hours gate on payment. It meant the specialist information films (e.g how to solder a pipe) were pushed out for more - here’s me wearing some Adidas vlogs.

There is a Firefox add on which skips all youtube ads.
