eh whatever they do, they should remove those stupid ads on mobile devices. Too many times to count, I'm trying to watch a trailer, or whatever and some ass commercial comes on and says I can skip it. I dont wait 5 seconds. I just refresh the page. If the ad is there again, I dont watch the vid.

I've accepted the fate at this point. I used to refresh to avoid ads, but its becoming such a common thing. In about 5 years, it would be almost impossible to find a streaming video that doesn't have an ad. Hulu Plus members, who pay money to stream their videos, have to sit through more ads than a YouTube video of the same length.

Even porn sites are using video ads.

You're trying to watch a trailer. They are essentially making you view an ad in order to view an ad.

....this is dumb.

AAAAHHHHH, it looks so atrocious, I'm blinded by it!

Seriously, whenever YT changes its layout, I can't help but to think of my old YT account (see my signature).
