    Ok in the last year or so.I liked watching youtube videos.

    But now some members on youtube are starting to get kinda on my nerves.YouTube is creating a heavily ad drop to promotion type deal.Most of these are scams.And which is the reason why i have ad blockers.

    But now lately i have been seeing youtube members starting to sell merchandise on there videos they put you.Yet another money making scam for most of them.And youtube / google gets a small profit off these scams.I personally don't mind watching just the videos.But when some members of youtube do heavy advertising in the videos.It's nothing but click bait.And it's those type of people i don't like.Because they are getting greedy.

    what are your thoughts on these new updates.

    Oh and i have noticed lately.With this new merchandise ad on option.The videos and comment section seem to be taking longer to load.Be cause the video is heavily advertised with merchandise and ad's in videos.

    Oh and when some one keeps saying smash that like button.To me that's more annoying when they say it multiple times.If people like the video they will hit the like button.But they don't need to jam it down peoples throat.

    click baits are the worst.

    Hey dude! I totally get you. I'm making my own Sci Fi series, and whilst I might make an advert to promote it on my channel, I think a lot of people overdo it with promotions and this kind of thing. I've recently started a Patreon which I'm gonna be adding to my youtube videos to support the series, but I won't actively promote the series within the videos. XD I don't want to force traffic by begging for likes or begging within my videos (although on my free YouTube channel I do beg people to check out my sci fi series.) :p

    If you're interested in checking it out: Ones and Zeros is my pilot.

    It's my aim to keep this series always ad free. We need a free internet! XD

    I agree many on YouTube now as in content makers add "clickbait" titles, I drown these out for ones who while may have creative titles are not overly clickbaity!
    @Retyu (Alex) I think thats a great thing to do and I know of another who has opened up Indiegogo and other crowdsources to help fund his film. Love the metalic blue shirt and orange jacket...

    Hehe thank you! I thought they were rather fetching! :D I'm going to get a few wacky outfits as the Doctor Who crowd seem to love them! XD I find too many things are clickbaity these days. So many posts telling me I wouldn't believe what Rosie O'Donnell looks like now, and I wouldn't believe my eyes! (She looks like Rosie O'Donnell, don't be fooled! XD)
