It was waaaaaaay bigger before. YouTube stars were making absolute millions from ad renevue. Then Pewdiepie (the biggest one) got demonitised for making an incredibly stupid joke and advertisers got scared and the money stopped. I'm not sure if it's back to how it was (I really doubt it) or still at a lower level. Or whether the ads are insane on kid friendly, won't be demonitised content, and lower on other bits. Google it, the slangy name is 'The Adpocalypse'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanna watch or show someone something quickly on there, an you have to watch 2 bloody adverts first then a second one you can skip half way through!! Not just YouTube, it’s bloody everywhere. If I want to watch a 15 second video on the sky sports app I have to sit through 30+ seconds of adverts first, Instagram too now (though you can skip after 5 seconds, for now). Advertisement and marketing has just gotten out of hand, it’s everywhere and everything is seen as a commodity to exploit, I’m sick of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly doesn't for Peppa Pig or Hey Duggee (although it does chop the episodes up into random slices). As much as I'm aware they don't.

Absolutely, it needs controlling online. On TV there are strict rules about ratio of advert time to show time. Online it’s completely screwed, as you say, and add can be twice the length of a video. YouTube making absolutely billions from it too so they are clearly taking the piss more than they need to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online adverts pays for stuff you aren't going to pay to access, you won't pay because, well that stuff rerally isn't that important to you, so become the regulator yourself, if advertising gets too much don't use the service. If you can't live without the service, pay for it. I say this as someone who hates advertising, I really rarely see it (apart from YT) as I either use paid for services or don't bother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do tend to not bother watching as much stuff online cos the ads piss me off. I have more sympathy for smaller online businesses who need the level of ad revenue to survive. Less for YouTube who are drowning in money but still keep pushing more and more ads onto people (because they can). It’s funny that of all the things the children complain about the ads on YouTube isn’t one of them, because they don’t know any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually installed a separate app, so no need to go on to the existing app after. I did go back on and the adds were there, then jumped onto the van vanced on and the difference is tip top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Not a big McDonalds lover so haven't been there for a while, but my 6 year old wanted it yesterday so popped in to a local one. Well it's turned out to be a awful experience. Drive through was closed (I think due to the amount of deliveries) so I had to go inside. They still have the screens up, 2 metres from the counter, like we have the plague or something, an the amount of deliveroo, just eat etc drivers in there waiting was ridiculous, hardly anywhere to sit. Must have took, 20 minutes to get a cheese burger happy meal due to them prioritising the deliver drivers. Fast food, your having a laugh!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not without sympathy for this point of view, but I think the flipside is if YouTube is going to replace television - and it pretty much already has for zoomers - then it can't be surprised if it attracts demands for regulation like a TV station would face . . . and TV stations have very tightly-policed regulations on the amount of adverts they can show and what the content of those adverts is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald’s has turned into a nightmare with JustEat/Mcdelivery/UberEats. They just can’t cope with all of that plus the restaurant and the drive through. It seems like the app and delivery orders get priority. I wonder if local councils will start clamping down on them. Near me it’s traffic chaos at peak times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 When you’re reading reviews of a hotel or resort and someone’s starts with “ignore the bad reviews”… errr, sorry love I don’t think you understand how this review business works. Not everybody has the exact same experience otherwise they’d just ask for a single review…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
