This has become an increasing trend in online videos. I think when it was started a few years ago and you were looking at 5-10 second clips it was okay, but go to YouTube and Vevo and other ads that are a full 30 seconds long, that has seemed to have set a trend others now follow. I have to wonder if it's pushing the limits of viewers patience, considering how open and free the net is supposed to be.

What it does is push people to seek different avenue's to view content. Gotta go search for the same title and get a site with no adverts.
