Of course I've recieved way more value than cost over that time.

I'd strongly recommend just paying to do away with the ads. I wouldn't be able to stand it with ads!!!!

It's only in the last week that I've come across YouTube videos with ads. With the first couple of them, I just went somewhere else and came back after the ad(s) were finished. So, no big deal.

This one was different, and I saw no reason to do whatever was necessary to get to the good part. I couldn't tell if I was expected to get a beer or go to the gym for 45 minutes before the video was finally going to appear. Maybe that was just me, I don't know, but it was a fail.

YouTube is such a tiny part of my online experience that I can let it go without missing a beat. Without knowing what it wants, paying for its videos is a non-starter.

Now, had a YouTube video been showing the end of the world before it reached my zip code, you better believe I would've been an avid watcher of every second of every ad leading into the climactic scene!
