YouTube Adding 30-second Ads > Washington

The crew at Gizmodo are saying that, beginning next year, YouTube will start adding 30 second advertisements to their videos. Ugh.

The plan as of now is to slap 30-second ads in front of clips. It isn't clear if there'll be shorter ads as well, if the ads will go in front of every clip, or if the ads will be skippable. I can tell you one thing: there ain't no way I'm sitting through 30 torturous seconds of advertising for a 15 second video of a guy lighting his farts on fire.

Time to start putting videos on different sites...

I figure it was only a matter of time. I can't see them doing 30 seconds though...

No shit! 30 seconds will ruin their service.

I can see a 30 second ad for every fifth video you watch or something along those lines.
