[@macca09]

Well if we have to watch ads, then youtube should remove the nsfw ads

[@Mochidrift]

you mean remove all the ads?

[@texturefounded]

The thing with this is that, if it's directly injected into the video stream, you can skip it. How? With firefox you can use something called "video overlay" (this is in every browser but you can do something special with firefox), if you get an ad, just activate the video overlay feature and skip the ad by changing the current video's time.

[@BostYT]

No but the point is that you don't know when the ad ends so you can't seek past it. Currently the adblockers detect when an ad video element pops up and then skips the current time to the video length. But now that they're mixing in ads inside the actual video, it won't work unless you could somehow know how long the ad is every time.

If the day ever comes that KZbin advertising becomes just as bad as network TV advertising, then I think that content creators need to start demanding to be paid a royalty every time one of their videos plays! The content creators need to GIVE KZbin a reason to be just as bad as network TV in terms of commercials! See, the whole reason network TV has so many ads is that network TV stations must pay the rightsholders of the shows and movies royalty fees every time they broadcast those shows and movies.

[@universe-ve4zq]

I remember when it was only 1 ad before the video started, and that was it. Then, it was an ad before the video, and some ads during the video depending on how long the video was. Now its a 1 or 2 ads before the video and multiple ads during the video, and at least 2 of them, you can't skip and sometimes ads show up shortly after you skipped the previous ads. Sometimes, when you press the skip button instead of going back to the video, it will skip to another ad. Some ads are back to back. And there are ads after the video ends. KZbin is getting ridiculous with ads nowadays. It can't possibly get worse than it already is, right? Or can it.
