Serving video content is highly expensive and only Youtube (With google ownership as the AD-specialist) has managed to turn a somewhat profit of only ads and at the same time paying it's creators. All other video-services I know of, that are not subscriber funded are bleeding money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im watching a video now. It’s 55 mins long. The first advert break was 90 seconds into the video, after having adverts before the video too. I’m 35 minutes on and just hit my 6th advert break. I use a free app on my android phone for YouTube, and it blocks all adverts. "Free Adblocker Browser" is the name of the app. Works really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use an ad blocker on my laptop I’ve noticed that YT adverts seem more frequent and longer when casting to a TV or using the TV app… not sure if that’s true or just how it feels but it certainly feels that way. I looked at premium, and if it was around a fiver a month I would go for it, but £12!? That seems a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who else has come out and admitted to being sexually abused, being sent away to 'learn discipline', selling drugs at 8, having an alcoholic mother, being adopted at 12, being addicted to sleeping tablets etc This is a genuine story, hopefully some good can come of it for him. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish Simon Jordon was on to give it some reality context. I've obviously seen what it's about but not the interview or any other reports but the coverage will most likely help though. Of course he's not the only one to have these issues or similar but if it gives 1 person the courage to report an issue or get their own help then it's worthwhile not just for Alli himself but anybody else.

Surely it's a good thing that it's out and open, as it'll encourage more people to come out and talk about their issues, rather than hide them and cause further issues down the line? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
