Google just managed to piss me off even more re:YT

[Pencil]

You Tube Pop-ups.

Side note:
I don't actually mind ads. But YT is being really obnoxious with the placement. Were I making videos for YT, I'd be thoroughly pissed of because the ads get slammed in without any regard to the actual content. I know there's not an actual person breaking the stream and starting the ad, but since more and more people are clearly marking segments in long form videos, I cannot understand why YT can't those cut offs made by the uploader.

Anyway:

As we all know, Google has started a war against ad blockers. The world, of course, found ways around that. So I've installed those. It's not as seamless as Ublock, but it works well enough. Every now and then the player has a hiccup, try to start an ad and stops within a second, letting the video continue.

That's a minor problem, and I expect the script makers and adblockers will find ways around this eventually.


But now, YT throws up a pop up, within it's UI, over the video (which keeps playing), called My Ad Center*, where I'm supposed to... I dunno, rate ads, share my preferences ASF. It's easy to click away, but still - A fuggin pop up!

I'm reminded of this, now old, but strangely apt video from 2010.





*Translated from Swedish, it's possibly called something else for you guys.
