I ended up putting adblock on my Google Chrome last night...At first, a few years ago, when Youtube allowed ads, there was only one at the beginning of a segment and if the segment went for longer than 30 minutes, there was one half way through.

Last night, I watched a video that went for 20 minutes and there were SIX!!! SIX advertisments!!! through it and that was enough for me to go "Right, that's IT...adblock time!"

I can imagine it getting to the stage where there'll be like 5 minutes of advertising, one minute of actual content, followed by another 5 minutes of advertising...followed by another minute of actual content...and also, ad-hackers will work around the blocking programs of the time...until people say "what a stupid thing the Internet is". lol
know exactly what you mean! I pay very little attention to the garbage out there i just have no use for it. I know that way of thinking can sound cold but...... wish you the best.
