Youtube has gone 100% downhill since Google bought it. What are some popular alternatives that don't suck?

I haven't had that yet. Maybe it's just for some videos for now. But if it's for all videos then that'd be very annoying.

I'm pretty sure the ads only pop up on some partner vids...
I could be wrong, but those are the only vids I've run across them before.

you tube is just trying to make more money from us :Ppecan50
they are actually trying to survive. Think about it, millions of videos, all uploaded pretty much for free. The amount of money to keep youtube's servers up is probably mind boggling insane, plus employees and such! It's pretty understandable how they have advertise more so then they've been

Were you watching one of the movies provided by youtube? The only time they ever have actual video ads is on the free movies/tv shows they provide

Yeah, but they're losing money on it they have to do something differently if they want to profit off of it.

God damn ads are annoying, always pop up before the video and you're forced to close them.

Sine Google bought out YouTube it has went WAY downhill.

It hasn't gone downhill persei, but the little pop-up ads at te beginning of videos are annoying. I'm not sure if I've seen the same ads being talked about in this topic though. It's not as if YouTube has become any less popular or is losing money, it's just that Google realised that with a site as massive as YouTube people will forgive you for putting ads on there.

Interesting fact: The amount of bandwidth YouTube had in 07/08 (I forget which year) was the size of the entire internet back in 2000/01. I read it in a newspaper somewhere last year.
