NS PLEASE SET UP SOME KIND OF CODE WHERE IF THE VIDEO IS LESS THAN 30 SECONDS TO A MINUTE THERE IS NO ADVERTISEMENT!!

It's really getting annoying if I wanna watch a 15 second video, and there's a 15 second ad!

Should be in site discussion although I agree. That said it will probably never happen. So many videos are short. NS wants to maximize it's advertising $$$.


Def annoying though when you want to watch a short video and the ads longer than what you're trying to click on.

Solution: shorter ads for shorter vids?

But that would probably cause problems on its own..

Yah, if an edit is under 30seconds or a minute that should happen.

i watched a couple ten second clips for the first time in quite a while the other day. Last time I do that.. it was miserable. I literally saw three times more advertising then content.

lets just do a rule of no ads longer than the video. NS still gets lots of advertising $$$ and we are happy not to sit through 20 second ad to see a 10 second clip

I would be happy if they just weren't the same add every single time.

Kills NS's ad revenue. (IE what keeps the site going)

Suck a dick if you do that.

when i go to watch videos, adblock gets enabled. i leave it off for regular browsing because of ad revenue and all of that, but having to watch 15 seconds of adv for ever 10-15 second clip i want to watch gets really fucking annoying...especially when its the same ad over and over and over again...fuck that.

This will end soon I promise. It was a strategical error on my part and I'm really sorry.

It really does help us when you watch those videos. I promise we'll end this in the future.

PROMISE!
