your ads are killing me!

The way YouTube handles their ads is a little frustrating at times, but usually not too bad.

I tried watching a 10 min video last night and I swear I had to watch 25 ads to get through it.  Once over 10 mins Youtube allows ads in the middle of the video, thats why you see people purposefully stretch a video to 10min+.  At that point people can manually place basically as many ads as they want.  I always use automatic placement because I am lazy.  So I have no idea if everyone also get 25 ads on my video or 1

Depending on the length I think I typically see 1 or 2 ads or so in your videos not counting the intro ad.   I never keep track, so it is hard to give an exact number. 

 I h ave noticed the more popular the channel then there tends to be more ads.  When people post a hour long video than I think it is at least five ads possibly more.  Sometimes it feels like the ads are very frequent in longer videos.   A few times I have seen it put them back to back.  Talk about being a pain.  Having to watch two ads before you can get back to the video is a bit much.
