The thing that always drives me nuts with YouTube ads is when I look up an ad (usually a movie trailer) and then I am forced to watch another ad before I watch the ad I wanted to see.

I've always thought YouTube should charge corporations to host their content. Then instead of placing ads in front of Aunt Sally's cat video, the corporations more aggressively make ads that are interesting on their own (Like Old Spice. People look up their ads, they don't need to be held hostage to view them).
