I come across those sometimes, I try to stay away from those big music channels like Vevo or warnerbrosrecords, try to stick with the individual uploaders and you'll be able to avoid those long adverts a lot better.

Are you trying to watch official music vids or movie clips GM?

Luckily we usually have the ability to click "Skip Ad" about 5-10 seconds in. :)

Official music videos and official music videos....

but yeah you're right about having the option of skipping the commercial after 10-15 seconds -- but even having that option is dumb - I mean who's going to choose to watch the rest of the commerical...:heheh:

All I know is...al these commercials are annoying. :)

They are but sadly I think it'll get worse before it gets better. And Vevo is a PAIN. Takes forever for those videos to load for me and I don't know if it's Vevo itself or just my wireless, but all I know is it's just usually them I have an issue with.

^ One good thing about Vevo videos, ILJP is the excellent quality of the video itself, and the sound....it's just the 30 second commercial, that's annoying.

I agree with you Groovy, the ads before videos are ridiculous. Just let me watch the damn video.

The best one is for STC bus lines where they advertise it is a safe way to travel..even though not too far away from me a nutcase on a bus sawed another poor dudes head right off and was eating his ears. The world gets more idiotic each passing day.

Yeah, it happened. The bus was headed to Winnipeg, Manitoba when the guys snapped. I am guessing seat sales really took a nosedive after that little incident.
