Why is it necessary to see so many advertisements when watching a video or listening to music? Has You Tube even considered the fact that some customers are paying for minuites and the advertisements waste a lot of those minutes? This was once an excellent app but, now it is much like regular TV. I can't even listen to a few songs without seeing about 3 commercials after each song and sometimes in the middle of an extended version song... and don't try listening to a meditation video or instructional video... The ads actually discourage me from purchasing any goods or services from the businesses that use this medium for advertisement. Commercials are actually a source of irritation for someone trying to escape the chaos in the world. This is not fair to the customer. You Tube has a lot of great information but, it is losing its status... I would have given this application a 5 star rating but, the resentment from being forced to listen to "mandatory" advertisements while using minutes that I purchased with MY money will only allow me to give this application two stars. Currently, the You Tube experience is like having a lovely gourmet meal in a public bathroom. Hopefully, things will improve as I would love to be the first to write a 5 star review.
