Next best thing for what?

 

[Newbian]

Nothing really comes close but there are dozens of other video sites like youtube and use google to find them... 😉

I personally find myself skipping a lot of videos if they have a pre-roll ad.

I like YouTube. It's probably my most used site that doesn't sit in a permanent tab.

1. Ads on every video.
2. Copyright for small stuff like music playing in the background.
3. Videos won't preload to full anymore.

3. Videos won't preload to full anymore.

That's really annoying, especially when you have slower internet but want to watch a video in HD anyway, even if it used to mean waiting a little while for the whole thing to load.

Download it. Mute the video, start the download, and go do something else for awhile.

They have ads? It's amazing how much adblock can totally and discreetly shut down any ads on youtube.

I use Adblock andI still get pre-rolls occasionally.

....at least I used too... now that I think about it.... I don't think I've seen one in a while.

Mobile devices that are unrooted display ads.

 

[HendrixFan]

I didn't even know youtube had ads until I was at a friend's house recently and saw them.

Even in the YouTube app? If so, how do you get rid of them if you're rooted?

1. Learn to use adblock

2. Welcome to the internet and sue happy people that needs to protect their product and any site will do it if they are forced to.

3. I personally use a add on that stops the loading of all the videos when I use youtube so multiple videos don't start loading / playing when I watch a bunch of them so I have no issue there.

All things I'm willing to overlook since every other video site lacks one thing in comparison to YouTube:

1. Content

 

[Miramonti]

I've never seen an ad on youtube.

Start the download, and close the tab... otherwise prolly double downloading.
