    Default Video Will Play After Ad

    Now let's start with the fact the ad is ALWAYS Head-n-Shoulders. WTF am I supposed to do with shampoo? Find a dog to use it on?

    Then there's this little tab at the bottom that says: "Visit sponsor's site". I want to know WHO watches videos on youtube and visits Head-n-Shoulders? Who even uses Hea-Head-n-Shoulders? That shit was a done deal when *I* was a teenager. Oh, I can tell you that Odell Beckham Jr uses the shit on that half-blond fro of his. "I'm gonna sell me some shampoo. Get me a black guy with the most ree-tardedest hair in the NFL 9the a team will hire so Mr BLM is out)."

    Or Crest. Who doesn't use toothpaste? Never mind. Jesus used Crest. It's been around since it had only one flavor and the dentist handed it out. They have to advertise on youtube? Some hillbilly quit brushing his fangs? You go ANYWHERE that has toothpaste and there's 20 different sizes, shapes, containers and flavors of Crest. If you can read, you know about Crest toothpaste and if you can't read you'll stumble over the product at the store. Hell that shit even silver western belt buckles up REAL good.

    Pepto Bismal. For those who can stomach the shit. If you weren't sick before ... we guarantee you will be. Another been around since Christ was a Corporal product.

    Hint: If I want to watch commercials instead of videos I got a TeeVee.

    Worse now - they are putting the ads mid-way through videos.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    You guys are insane for not using adblocker.

    I never see any ads in videos, and it blocks 99% of them on webpages.

    https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...lidom?hl=en-US


    And this is for not installing it before now :

    Yessir, it does. Strips out those stupid video ads and your video plays immediately when you clickie. Also stops most pop-ups - not all, but most.

    Your speed goes WAY up because you're not trying to load 85 ads all at once.

    Security is enhanced because you're not trying to load 85 ads from who knows where.

    Yeah... IT guys get very motherly with the equipment they're in charge of... but I would seriously doubt, if you asked one, any IT professional would have a problem with adblock installed. That would be more of a @Russ question.

    Lots of sites will bitch about it because they're losing revenue because you aren't seeing their ads, and I understand their point. I honestly don't care.

    I loathe ads. Commercials suck. The only time I willingly watch a commercial is if it's a funny one, and then I'll watch it for the entertainment value... like those Snickers commercials. Those were funny, but if it had been in a video I was trying to watch, the irritation value would have overridden the fun factor of watching it.

    I use ADBLOCK for YOUTUBE. It comes from Google. Easy to find, and it's Free.

    Just go to google, and type ADBLOCK for Youtube. It installs automatically.

    And this is for not installing it before now :
    I did when they were free. Even if it meant the ad blocker WAS the biggest spammer on my computer thereafter. I'm not paying for it. As BD just stated, they are whores. They offer free shit up front, reel you in, then charge you for it. My "free" internet already costs enough without having to pay for any and everything on it separately.

    I don't. Haven't in years. All I do now is not have it on as background noise anymore.

    I'm sure as Hell not going to watch a Cowboys game. They're pretty-much f*cked anyway if they don't win out.
