Why so many commercials while watching a YouTube video? Very annoying.

Been watching a fair amount of youtube lately, and don't have a subscription. The interruption is often up front, altho the interruptions within a video can come at inopportune times but are relatively short and if you're quick with the remote can often skip after 5 seconds......not really all that bad for free. Still better than most commercial tv IMO.

And they are making you sit through a lot of the commercials. That is really annoying, a lot of times they don't even let you skip anymore and oh it's 99% of the time a two pack commercial. If the premium YouTube were 5-10 bucks I would do it but it's what 13 or 15 bucks?

Love it when you're listening to a song and unskippable ads start halfway through the song. Hard to stay in a groove when you're suddenly asked to refi with Quicken Loans.

With cable tv does anyone know if you can FF through the commercials?

Seriously, I have no life.
I use a Roku Premiere in my main room and I can FF through a lot of commercials but I have a Streaming Stick in another room that will be leaving soon- it doesn't respond to the remote very well and it's making me crazy! I'm getting another Premiere.

While I hate the commercials, I realize they have to pay for their service but I really would like them to find another way. People make a lot of money if their videos are watched by large numbers of people, so their cost has increased but I guess they want people who use a streaming device to feel the pain along with those watching on computers.

Probably true, From what I've read YouTube is owned by Google, I guess my monthly cable / TV / phone / internet bill isn't high enough to allow 'commercial free' media anymore. Even my worldwide internet radio service Vtuner is $3.00 a year now, used to be free!

Nothing is free.

If you won't pay for it with $, then you pay for it with your time to watch the commercials.

I'm OK with the commercials, not to say that I like it, but I get it.
