    YouTube

    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.

    I have also noticed an increase in the amount of ads. Getting annoying now.

    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.
