@Nirgali Banner ads I'm just "meh" about. I don't mind them that much, though I prefer not to have them around. However, ads before videos...I watch a LOT of videos here, and I absolute hate the ads. If for some reason I'm not logged in when I start a video, and I see the same ad for a lame game/product that I don't like, I actually AOL (Argh Out Loud). I especially hate the "5 second" skip option (as on Youtube) because it is almost like saying "we know you likely don't care, so just waste a few seconds of your life ignoring everything until you can click this button."

Nope, there's only one option for me: no ads, or an extremely disgruntled customer.

If you do not provide a method for removing ads, I will provide a method on my own: I will go somewhere else. I disagree that there is no value to the service: everything else aside, I HATE ads. You are in peril of losing a VERY long time customer.
