Worse than TV? That is a gross exaggeration. Most of the YT ads can be skipped after 5 seconds.

TV is basically unwatchable if you want a consistent experience. Unless you use the playback function where you can skip the ads.

Stop jumping on the tail end of my answers!

Seriously, stop it. Stop it right after a word from out sponsors...

Hey, Bill Swift here! We butchered fourteen orphans on this white sheet, and now look at it! Those stains are never coming out! But fear not, thanks to new OxyClean! One run through the washing machine with just a cup of OxyClean, and you can't tell one orphan, much less fourteen, was ever butchered on it.

Just listen to a few of our happy customers!

'Hey Bill! We here at the church have been trying to get this baked in image of Christ off this shroud for years, and nothing worked! The stains just wouldn't go away! But one wash with OxyClean and look! It looks brand clean as if it just came off the rack!'

True but.. the entire internet is worse without an ad blocker.

antrad88: I have been using an Internet ad blocker for probably 9 or 10 years now. For the last few weeks I have been using my old computer with Windows XP where I couldn't install an ad blocker, because the Firefox version for XP is out-dated.

I was completely overwhelmed and shocked with the current state on YouTube:
- first there is and ad at top-right of the screen
- then you often get a one minute ad before the video even starts
- then during the video you often get an ad banner
- but that is not enough, often the video just stops to display and ad, just like on TV
- then after it finishes there is another ad
Most of the videos can be skipped after 5 seconds, and the banners don't block much.

Also there are blockers thankfully or using the site which leeches vids off of youtube, but I use it sometimes to watch ads to give a few pennies to my favorite YTers.

Darvond: I'm one of the less sympathetic types. If you're using Windows XP in this day and age, that's entirely a YOU problem.

I dunno if you're one of the many who've been told logical and sensible solutions; (Buy an off lease computer from an office, Linux, work for CroTeam) but you've got absolutely no reason to be using Windows XP at this point, especially for a network computer.
This is one of the things I hate about online forums......if you don't sympathize with the OPs you get treated like dogsh*te for merely being critical of OP's post.
