    Now I'm not un-used to in-line adds in youtube, they can be a little annoying, but they're usually thirty seconds too a minute and they're normally either targeted (car adds) or adverts for some "hip young thing"'s youtube channel... like ripping off a plaster.

    However, I've currently got a slightly stupid advert going on that requires me to stop what I'm doing and interact with the browser, not a big deal I know... it's a 53:19 hairdressing demonstration... WTF?!?

    The worse adverts is that nob that keeps talking about how reading all these books allowed him to buy his Lambergini and that he would share how he did it with you.

    Adblock doesn't always work some of the adverts are imbedded in the video, isn't there a subscription service thats add free on youtube ?

    Never actually seen what the op is talking about or had that issue. I know sometimes you have to wait 5 seconds to skip an advert before you can watch the actual video you wanted in the first place, but I've kinda gotten used to that.
