Comments on: YouTube slowly building ad-friendly content

One analyst believes YouTube might be able to sell ads against 9 percent of its videos this year. That's not much, but it's up from 3 percent last year.

The amount of ads on youtube... it's really getting old. Ads popping up IN videos? It's absolutely ridiculous.

It's definitely annoying, that's for sure.

I completely agree with you!

When watching a video on CNET, the ad appears in full screen before the requested video appears.
In my humble opinion, that is the best way ads should work, much like commercials on television.

Having an ad appear overlaying the video you are TRYING to watch is just as annoying as someone talking on their cell phone in the movie theatre -- it's downright rude!

Yeah. But sometimes there is an amusement factor to it. I was watching a video of a guy showing off his gun collection at the range and an ad for depression popped up.

"Depressed? take this test and find out if it really is depression."

Because, you know, liking guns is totally linked to depression. :P

Hey it could be be the first thing you use if your depressed to kill yourself.

[Fistics]
