I remember when YOUTUBE would place ADVERTISEMENT on the side, next to play list. BUT NOW, YOUTUBE is placing advertising where your EYES are focusing, like inside the videos, hence forcing you to watch or engage with it by closing it, etc.
The excessive advertisement becomes a frustrating experience making them ineffective.
I'm also switching back to my Blackberry phone's old software version, the updated version is nice but it now allows ads to pop up when browsing online....sucks, too.

Youtube is becoming too ridiculous and absurd. We all know they have to generate some advertising profits and expect to see 1 or 2 ads once in a while. However, there are adds poping every other video.
Let's choose a day and not logging to send them a message. Boycott you tube some day on December 2011.

I don't even care that much about the ads.
What I am pissed about is that becasue there is so much content now that us the user do not need but YOUTUBE wants revenue so here we have disrupting content that slows my computer to the point of stalling and glitches. Other sites I do not have a problem with just this one, FIGURES. 3 YEARS AGO NO PROBLEMS AT ALL NOW EVERYDAY ALL DAY

SIGNED!!!!!!! sometimes i go to watch a funny video when im bored and i just see ADS thats all i see ADS! before the video which is stupid because i dont even care about the ad, putting the ads there makes me hate that product and its totally unnecasary! And they even did the unthinkable, ads AFTER THE VIDEO TO! so if you want to replay the video you have 2 wait

I found a solution. If you use Chrome or Firefox, get a free plugin called AdBlock plus. It blocks all ads, even ads on Youtube videos.

Well this year the ad problem has REALLY become ridiculous! ads are popping up on every second video or even EVERY video, rendering things like music playlists virtually unusable. Even commerical radio doesn't stick an ad between EVERY SINGLE SONG!!!
I totally agree with more petitions like this, but it's not just youtube that does it, just about every site I go to now is COVERED in ads. They're getting longer and more obnoxious too, it's no longer just pop-ups at the bottom of vids anymore, now I have to sit through 30-45 second ads before it will even load my video. Also some website pages even disappear and say they will be back after a short break, WTF!?!
Make it stop ='(
