So how bad has youtube gotten since Google took over? I know they are trying to do whatever they can to make money on the thing, but damn the ads are getting ridiculous all over the video. How does hulu do what they do? Do they just pay for the rights with the ad money that appears right before the videos? That\'s a heck of a lot better than filling the screen with the crap that Google is doing.

I think the on-video popup ads + commercials are only for profit-sharing account holders. Folks that want to make money off of the videos they upload are ultimately at fault here.
I also despise anything that overlays on the video.

No matter what, an ad pops up in the bottom but some people put a ridiculous amount of ads in their videos. I hate going to you tube now.

I hadn\'t realized it was new, but those overlayed ads annoy me, too. I can appreciate if it\'s from the video sponsor to a site they\'re promoting, but mainly it\'s just annoying, and I never click on it anyway.

Yeah...if ads are going to be in there, i\'d rather have them right before the vid rather than having them pop up all over the place...nowadays the ad\'s even make it incredibly hard for you to locate the teeny-weeny "x", so you can close it out.

They ain\'t a big a deal, unless you\'re watching some super intense shit.

obama must be SOOOOOO proud. I\'m sure all those children will in no way be affected by that display.
I\'m sure all their fathers will pull them aside and tell them that....
oh, wait a minute "fathers"?
sorry, I forgot.

That\'s awesome. I like when you can start to see it finally dawn on that woman that her behavior probably wasn\'t a good idea.
