    Pre roll ads suck donkey shlong.
    I go to check out a film trailer, which is a commercial - and I have to watch a first commercial before I can watch the other commercial.
    It should be enough that they plaster visual ads up and down the page with the video..
    Youtube stinks..

    Are you talking about on mobile? I get the 15 second ads on mobile, but I don't get them at all on my laptop.

    Nothing is free, folks. Youtube is unprofitable that serves the public a great deal.

    I use to hate the ads, but soon realized that it's free. Therefore I can't complain.

    Of course they are not, but YouTube is losing money by the second. Regardless of how big your company is, you don't want to lose money by the second.

    If youtube isn't profitable that's on them.
    Youtube doesn't own or create any of the material that drives people to their service. But they have long used this material that they don't own as carrier bait for their nauseating ads - while the people that do own this material really get the short stick.
    They have a monopoly over online video servicing. People aren't going to Vimeo to search out the latest Rick Astley mashup.
    If you control the market entirely and can't make a profit then you need to fix some things.
    Charge more for the ads - and place them in a manner that doesn't perturb and lose viewers might be a start..
