Bob de'Long: And getting very instrusive with commericals. Opening themselves up for the samler competitors.

Bob de'Long: Google news searches is getting plugged with lots of articles "fake" sites that mimic Fool and SA.

TruffelPig: You can lose those adds by clicking on the little cross x in the upper right corner. Annoying though.

Bill Maurer: Yes, but some of the adds you can't skip are blending into the songs. Something is definitely wrong, and it was fine a week ago.

sam050787: I use Adblock, works like a charm. Otherwise, it is very annoying

andyk80: YouTube ads are annoying when i want to watch a specific video.

andyk80: But doesn't bother me when I am working and I have YouTube playing a playlist. Kind of like a TV the ads just blend in.

andyk80: It sounds like you are saying the video ads are running at the same time as the content. That's never happened to me before.

Bill Maurer: It just started happening the last few days. Even when the ads finish, you still get the audio from them, even as the video (song) starts.

Bill Maurer: So you have the ad almost like replaying, with the song playing as well.

andyk80: Are you watching the video on YouTube? Or are you watching a embedded YouTube video on a different site?

andyk80: If you are on a different site watching a embedded youtube video then you might be hearing a different video ad that is also on the page.

Bill Maurer: nope, straight up youtube.

scott trader: gmail is big brother....most of youtube videos are jerky poor resolution...plenty of room for aapl to squeeze in...

James Sands: What about ESPN, or 20th Century Fox, etc.? What happens when these big dogs stream directly?? No matter how big Google and Apple get.....

James Sands: They are purely platforms and if they don't do it right, someone else will...
