I didn't think Google would actually do it. When YouTube was purchased, people were saying it'd be overrun with crappy Google advertisements. It did happen, and quite visibly in some areas... but people lived... and I was just now watching a... video which I won't name, and this came up:



That's GREAT.

It's invasive and annoying. It's common sense for a business to think "How will this affect the users?"

I cant be arsed to find the feedback. But I'd like to make a fuckton of complaints to Youtube, about how they manage mail systems and the ads. Other then that, you can always use Veoh? Its a heck of a lot better, with less users. But if you make it known. Maybe Google will be forced to act...

I was fine with the Ads in the different parts of the site, but now in the videos? That's just horrible...
Google, what have you done?

IMO it was bound to happen, even if Google didnt buy out Youtube. Simply because we all knew YouTube would start paying off users with the highest viewed videos :P they needed to collect revenue somehow :P

I've noticed some ads in videos, but mostly in "commercial" videos (Music Videos, and others like that).
Wonder what google's next step will be?
To make users happy?
or to make themselves happy?

So...
What's the point in them advertising of programs made to download their own movies...? O_o
What's next?
On game trailers and music videos, ads saying: "Download this game for free on www.rapidsharelinksquickbeforefbiclosesusdown.com" and "Download this track free of charge. NO CREDIT CARDO NEEDED!!!111! on www.freemusicdownloadsofmusicdownloads.com"... >_>

Come on guys, at least be happy they don't play an unskippable ad before every clip.

And it's not in any video on YouTube itself, it's only in externally displayed videos (for example, when you post videos here on ZFGC or your own website).

Am I the only one who noticed the big, clickable (x) to get rid of the ad? So..you know, you can just...make it vanish quickly and easily...anyone else notice that? Or think "Hey, at least I can get rid of it, unlike other places..."?

Anyone? Anyone at all? No? Okay then, just clearing that up.

No, the one I printscreened was a video on YouTube. It seems that not every video has them though.

The fact that you can make it go away doesn't excuse the fact that they put it there in the first place.  It's still annoying.
