I've gotten ads a literally hour long, but thankfully those can be skipped after a minute. it's crazy
Mis
yep. basically an infomercial.
Cirape
...are the political ads?
Cirape
i can never skip political ads even minute long ones
Cirape
other things good within 5-30 seconds, but if theres politics YOU WATCH THE WHOLE THING DAMNIT
Murder moogle
ugh, I hate those
Cirape
ive had a 2 hour ad once too :|
فك يو
this one was a star wars trailer
Murder moogle
if the ad is at the beginning of the video, I will absolutely hit refresh on the whole page and try again
Murder moogle
maybe the next ad will be shorter and/or skippable
Cirape
mmm, movie trailers are okay for long ads but if theyre not skipable then i dont want to see that movie anymore
Cirape
yeah ive done that

I had an ad that was over an hour long the other day. If I wasn't paying attention, it would have say there any played for over an hour.

It was a twenty minute ad that opened with the events of 9/11 that made me get ad block
Cirape
what the fuck
what the fuck
Yarn Temptress
Yeah that was my reaction the second I saw the towers. I don't even know what it was for, just. Nope nope nope, YouTube videos weren't even twenty minutes long back then!

i'd put money that it was an ad for some conspiracy site or w/e

I love getting ads on music videos that are...just other music videos
sᴡᴀᴍᴘᴄᴀᴛ ғᴇᴠᴇʀ
I get like 30 seconds in like "this is definitely not in my playlist" it's an ad that's just some random music video

if you use it on the phone download firefox and ublock origin, otherwise switch to firefox and get ublock, unless youre using it on a console or other device then im so sorry.....

i watch on my computer!

and am somehow the single person in the world who doesn't use any sort of adblock

i use adblock plus and ghostery extentions and often forget that ads exist on the internet. it's great.
Mis
Just as a heads up, YouTube is going to be making it impossible you watch videos with an ad locker unless you subscribe to premium.
Mis
or at least, they're working on it and hope to roll it out soon.
Yarn Temptress
And here's the workaround
ARCHlVlSTE
Mis
: firefox has workarounds and mostly ignores google! yarn already linked a very good workaround!
ARCHlVlSTE
i forgot ads even exist, i genuinely cannot handle them so
ARCHlVlSTE
you can also watch youtube here without ads or anything: Home - CloudTube
ARCHlVlSTE
i use this regularly

I also don't use adblock, you are not alone!
