YouTube pet peeves


-Overly long opening logo. Why do I have to stare at this for five seconds?
-Overly long introduction. Get to the point!
-Long-windiness. You made your point, move on!
-Asking me to subscribe and "hit the bell" in ALL your videos.

Yours?

Dimming the video whenever you pause or move the time position control.

When the ad plays better than the video itself.

Ads that are longer than the clip I want to see.

People who over edit. Cuts everywhere.

People who yell at the camera.

When they tell you to leave a comment and they don't respond to them.

That's happened to me more than once

I avoid any video that shows a younger person reacting to something that was popular decades before they were born. Do I care what you think about a crappy boyband from the 1990s? No!

Too many ads, and it's getting worse.

There used to be one ad at the beginning of a video.
Then they added a second ad at the beginning.
Then it was ads at the end of the video.
Now the ads are popping up during the videos. And they are very disruptive, showing up in the middle of a scene.

YouTube is another example of a good thing being destroyed by commercials.

The adds every 30 seconds in a video. Sometimes I leave a video on to listen to when I am going to bed and it gets really annoying when I turn away from the computer/phone and the moment I get comfortable a commercial comes on. And it's never a 10 second commercial that i can just let run it's course...NOOOOOOO...it's gotta be the damn 30 MINUTE PooPuri commercial or the 30 minute 'man soap' commercial. So then I have to roll back over so hit the damn skip button. This will happen 3-4 times before I get annoyed and turn the video off.

The long introductions. I really liked Channel Awesome; I do like Nostalgia Critic. but some of the other people are the channel just got too overbearing and pretentious. I can't think of the one but I tried to get into his videos but he would spend 20 minutes with this boring and useless 'look at me be a superhero' intro's. I had to stop watching because his in between storylines became longer than the actual movie review.

When I'm looking for a film, and it's there but in 46 clips but it says it's the entire film. OK, they just run continuously so it's like watching one uncut film. But no. You click to watch and it's just a random clip montage in no particular order so it's unwatchable. Why do they do this?! It's so annoying.
