I thought there was a restriction on videos that were under a certain length so there were no ads on them? Just wondering.

There actually shouldn't be ads in front of videos under 30 seconds. I am pretty sure that we have them all blocked - are people seeing ads on videos less than 30 seconds?

The thing that pisses me off about newschoolers video ads, is how they're always SIGNIFICANTLY louder than all other videos, what's up with that?

Nor can you mute the volume in the player? You have to do it at the driver level on your computer. So fucking annoying to be adjusting audio levels all the time.

I don't feel like this needs its own thread so im posting it here but it bugs the shit out of me that you can't mute the ads in front of videos. The only people who appreciate this are the people that pay for the ads because I always inadvertently click on the ad while i'm trying to shut the damn thing up.

AD RANT THREAD

The APO game one is fucking stupid, it made me take care to not buy the game

The skirack one is annoying because I will most likely ever be near there and it's played on every single video.
