I guess it's -fairly- safe to say now that the YouTooob ads thing is just part of a 1,2,3 coincidence.
After doing a full system restore to a week ago, I'm still seeing ads on YT now. Ah well...

Wasn't sure, because there had been that avalanche of things all happening the same day, .. the browser suddenly trying to update, the YT ads, and the crash when I plugged in the different monitor.

AH WELL ;P

At least traditional Ad-Blockers and Script-Stoppers seem to work. I'll just have to start using those again.

I've always said I don't mind a few ads to help websites pay the bills, but when the level of ads is insidious and so invasive that it kills the experience, gotta draw the line.

Al deals with it using a program to download the videos before watching them.

Those all used to be really good! I've heard that it's much harder to do these days, and I haven't found anything dependable that's like what was out there years ago when everything downloaded easily as an .FLV file.

I hate the proliferation of advertising on these services. Yes, it’s not going to be a free ride, but jeeze!

Many folk have left Twitter because of social/political/cultural differences with moosk, but I’m ready to ditch because suddenly it’s a promoted tweet (ad) every third followed post! FB is equally annoying.

Yeah, I expect more (or less) from my free services!
