YouTube
Is it me or does it seem like Google has more advertisements now? It seems like every friggin video I go to now has a 30 second ad you cant skip.

Cant say I've noticed tbh, though watching on a mobile device is a good way to avoid all that.

Not all the ads are full 30 secs pal. Many ads are coming with 5 sec skipping option.
I think you can pay less for ads that has 5 sec skipping. My country guys are cheap, hence i can skip them fast

In a place like mine where the streaming speeds are not so great, even those skip-this-after-five-seconds ads become quite a problem.

Hello,
Personally for me, I have noticed the increase in ads on YouTube however they DO NOT bother me. YouTube is a free service and it takes A LOT of resources to run it. This includes a sizable staff, servers, storage, power, cooling and bandwidth. The ads pay for it.
It does however bother me that Hulu puts commercials in shows for "Hulu Plus" Paid Subscribers.

The number and frequency of ads on youtube videos has certainly increased a lot in recent months but they don't bother me much mostly because of the reasons KMyers has mentioned above.

Yeah I’ve noticed it recently as well, I'm not a massive YouTube user but even the 5 sec ones seem more frequent and annoying.
