The ads are getting ridiculous. The worst is when I go to watch a youtube for an ad (a movie trailer) and get ads for that.

- shostack 10y agoThese are indeed the worst. What I don't get is the nature of the relationships such that studios don't seem to promote their own trailers. The only things that show up are those crappy trailer aggregators that, to your point, cause you to watch an ad to see an ad. These days I tend to start with Apple's Trailers app. Brief synopsis and a list of all the trailers in HD--is that too hard for YouTube?
- slyall 10y agoThe studios are very strange sometimes. Dumb stuff I've seen them do recently: * Post to obscure channels * Have cross-promotional stuff on the trailers * Region blocked videos * Take down official trailers after a while * Give exclusive trailers to sites * Only post the trailers to yahoo or some other less-popular site and skip youtube. Thus often the most reliable way to get the trailers is via MovieClips or one of the other channels, who all put their junk and ads on them. Source: I have a little hobby of finding trailers to post to /r/trailers ( https://www.reddit.com/r/trailers/ https://www.reddit.com/r/trailers/ ) on Reddit. Would recommend if you are into trailers, the mods there prioritize official sources and weed out most of the dups and bads ones.
