Second thought is the add revenue in YouTube and how Google is slowly making it impossible to view something without an intro ad to a video spot I want to watch. Sanity on product reviews, or modifications might actually drive me away from YouTube and stick to reading. I use the MVPS.org hosts file to ad-block most of the website content I review, as I pipe it into /etc/hosts and c:\%windows%\system32\drives\etc\hosts files to keep myself from the flash -> ad-virus injection methods for security reasons. However, YT is driving me crazy with 30s ad spots for like a 3 minute video and you can't walk around them no matter how you try unless you browser jack or regional change some things (right?). Anyway .... venting on Google's ad pushes myself.
