YouTube Video Ads? – Elf Knows It [ARCHIVED]

Have YouTube starting showing advertisements before videos now!? Over the past few weeks I have been greeted with "Advertisement: Your video will start in 15 seconds" or something along those lines when I click to view a video and to be honest I don’t like it! It has made be exit the video on occasion. I don’t mind the in-video advertisements, because you are still getting your video from the start, but these video ads are just plain annoying, many other video websites show them and I always gave YouTube credit for not following suit….

In the past 3 weeks I have only seen maybe 5 all together, so it’s not at a bad stage yet, I hope.
