The videos themselves don’t bother me. Commercials and adds never have. I just click it away when the X pops up.
But what pisses me off is the whole principle of the matter, and I feel insulted being told that I can skip this add in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…it frustrates me to have this shit shoved in my face, and it insults my intelligence when these adds think they can persuade me that my life isn’t complete without whatever they’re advertising.
I gave up cable television because commercials are much too excessive…but I just can’t escape. They find me in another way.
@ETpro You do have a point, but I notice that all the vids that have these adds are ones of popular and mainstream stuff. Search any Lady Gaga video, and you’ll be accosted by such adds. A lot of things made by people or stuff that doesn’t answer to the apex of society when it comes to entertainment and big time budgets just have the little ads that appear on the vids, which you can get rid of right away. There certainly seems to be some specific selection when it comes to what gets those bomb adds, and I wonder just how necessary they actually are?
