Youtube Skip ads feature: Scam

[Scootaloo]

Today I went on youtube as usual and clicken on a lyrics video with about 2.7k views. Normally, i wouldn't see and ad due to the limitation of views. But nope, The page refreshed and the page itself grew larger and I had to scroll for about 2 seconds past a blank youtube background screen to see the ad. It was 30 seconds long and I saw a sign saying "skip ad". I clicked it. This scenario happened for the next 5 videos, most of which not having more than 10k views. Then the button disapeared when i went to my next video to test. It was also not widely viewed. I didn't have an ad to be forced to watch. Apparently you have to pay to skip these ads, and those 5 ads i skipped were pretty much a free trial.

 

You are probaly annoyed by this, but think of it this way. When i had that skip ad option available, ads were on every single video I watched. That means if i bought, say, 10 more uses, EVERY video I would watch would have an ad i would otherwise might not have to watch in the first place.

 

 

i was struck with a 30 second ad. I would, before this bull****, be able to skip it after about 5 seconds, or be forced occasionally to watch a 15 second one. Now i HAVE TO purchase those worthless skip ad uses to skip them.

 

What do you guys think?
