YouTube sucks

[JudynTX]

You can't watch any videos without a freakin Ad. GTFOOH

[Spur-Addict]

:15-:30 seconds of your time is the price of free.

[Drachen]

:15-:30 seconds of your time is the price of free.

This, plus you can usually skip the ads after 5 seconds.

[YouTube]

It still sucks.

[Drachen]

Well, pretty soon they are going to offer a subscription model where you can pay some money, then you wont have to sit through the commercials and it can be everything you ever wanted.

[Spur-Addict]

You could always do something else for the duration of the commercial in another browser. That's what I do when I can't skip the add. I agree, it does suck.

What do you primarily use Youtube for?

[Spur|n|Austin]

They must be making a killing off all the ads.

You have to love those black and white coats meshing together. It's a thing of beauty.

I used to be Captain Obvious, but apparently I have turned evil over the last few years and turned into the most villainous purveyor of the plainly apparent, DOCTOR OBVIOUS!

[ChumpDumper]

When did the buffering start to suck so badly?

Flash in general sucks now.

[jeebus]

adblock tbh. I haven't seen a video ad in months

dunno imo. You used to be able to pause and let the video load but now that seems to only work on like 10% of the videos, if that.

[symple19]

as Jeebus said, adblock ftw

[gameFACE]

A YouTube troll! :lol

There are some types of ads you can't skip.

[lefty]

Yup Adblock for the motherfuckin win

[Reck]

Adblock actually blocks the in-video ads?

May have to look into that. Although I dont experience alot of those long ads on youtube.

They're mainly on official videos like vevo and shit like that. User uploads usually start from the jump.

Yes. If you have chrome:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock-plus/cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb?hl=en

don't know what it is for firefox though.

Chrome is just simply the best.

Isn't it going to be obsolete soon?

Thanks bro.

Just installed it there.

[Reck]

Flah is annoying as fuck. They keep forcing you to download their "latest" update. Very inconsistent.

[JudynTX]

It's not just YouTube with the ads, it's almost every video site you go to now.

[Reck]

LOL you mean free porn sites. :lol

I go to a few other boards much like this one and I never see ads.

[JudynTX]

Took you all long enough to bring up porn. :lol

[Avante]

If you wanna watch..

Jimmy Brown
"Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers
Bullet Bob Hayes
Gale Sayers
Jesse Owens
Tommie Smith

...in action, yep....youtube.

What's a few seconds wait?

[ChumpDumper]

Can you post in one thread without name dropping from your almanacs?

What, is google supposed to provide the servers and bandwidth gratis?

Sure, here ya go....

[ChumpDumper]

I understand the ads, I don't get that flash is getting progressively worse in general and on YouTube in particular.

[baseline bum]

I don't think flash is the problem. The site just seems overloaded and extremely slow in peak hours lately. I get lousy speeds downloading the video files directly and not just watching through their flash viewer.

So what would you like for me to do slick, I'm here to make you happy.

[ChumpDumper]

So what would you like for me to do slick, I'm here to make you happy.I just told you, shorty.

So cool the lists, cool the videos.

so just say....I like youtube....right?

Youtube ads don't bother me to much. You can skip some after 5 seconds, and the others last only 15. I'll take that for the free service you are getting. The whole subscription thing worries me. At the start it is only supposed to be a couple of big channels like The Onion and WWE. If they allow anyone to move to that down the road, I can see it killing Youtube. Nothing is more annoying that constantly running into content on a site that is behind a paywall.

[Avante]

If that's all you can think of.

Ok little guy, since it means soooo much to you...


I like youtube because you can see a lot of things you'd be hard pressed to find without it. You want to relive some game/fight/movie/tv show, bingo, there it is. Tons of things you've forgotten youtube reminds you of because while looking for something else there it is.

You already said that.

Damn it!!!!!!!!...and I was trying so hard to make you happy, bummer.

[Latarian Milton]

if you watch a long video like a 2-hour long movie, then it's well worth 15-30 secs of waiting imho

[redzero]

The new update to Flash Player on Firefox fixes the problem of videos playing. If you are tired of videos actually working, definitely download and install the update.

[NASpurs]

Adblock Plus + Greasemonkey + Youtube Center script = :tu

They're already talking about competing with Netflix. :lmao

I saw this on CNN yesterday. They want to start at a pricing right around 2 bucks.

Depending on what they offer, I may even subscribe but they would have to put something very, very intriguing. Basically unique to them because they cant compete with the likes of Netflix, Hulu and even Amazon Instant.

[mercos]

The $2 monthly subscription would be per channel. If they could get content like HBO, NBA TV, etc I would be tempted to subscribe to a few. No way I'm paying for the content already available on Youtube. If amateur content gets put behind a firewall, I have little doubt Youtube will go down the drain and competitors will copy their old model and replace them.

[Latarian Milton]

the ads ain't the most boring part imho. there ain't many quality vids on youtube these days and you have every reason to feel irritated when you wait for 30 secs something only to see some retarded fags masturbating to themselves. it wouldnt bother me to wait 3 minutes for each vid if every one is guaranteed to be as good as ghazi-tube tbh

Youtube has had movies and TV shows behind paywalls for a while now.

Well said my celibate friend.

I'm only using youtube to get reviews on stuff I want to buy. Mainly electronics.

[Thebesteva]

I absolutely hate youtube ads and just downloaded adblock which really wasn't a download but 1 click and it said google chrome now has adblock. Now the commercials dont come on...what kind of black magic is this?

Im shocked man, I kind of suffer from OCD so whenever these youtube videos come on I have a nervous break down. I seriously cant stand how many fucking times I have to watch a 15 second ad. I am so happy that I have the old youtube back now aka youtube without BS Commercials.

Some sites hate adblock and don't let you watch videos if you have it on. I think hulu is one of those sites but I can't swear to it since I haven't been there in years.
and lol paying to watch stuff you can watch for free.

I've had similar issues. I can't even pause the videos any more to let it load, because it doesn't. YouTube has been getting worse too.

[Wild Cobra]

This, plus you can usually skip the ads after 5 seconds.
True, but the change is annoying as hell.
