least helpful review ever

Adverts aren't the fault of the people making the videos, though.

But obnoxious music, sure. I can do without that myself.

Yes they are.

YouTube will not automatically put ads on your video. That only happens if you tell YouTube to do it. The only reason anyone would ever do this is because the person who uploaded the video will receive a portion of revenue from that. This is, essentially, how you make money on YouTube.

So yes, they absolutely have a choice in whether or not they want to put the ad before their videos. (That said, you can just get Adblock and then never have to worry about it again. Like an adult.)

I watched a few TFWTG and Linkara videos, but nothing ever compelled me to go back and watch more. They're not that funny. At least not to me. Of course, The Angry Video Game Nerd (and James Rolfe in general) and The Angry Joe Show make me laugh consistently, so there you go. Maybe I have questionable taste anyway.

Some of these guys crank out half hour reviews, when really, a more condensed version would be just fine. We don't really need to hear about how much Aliens: Colonial Marines sucks for a full 30 minutes do we (looking at you, Angry Joe)?

Yeah, that. I think YouTube (and other sites) lifting the original 10 (and later, 15) minute video limits have kind of put a real axe in that, though. I like to imagine that those were as much about space as they were about raw quality--as in, you need to make sure people can sit and watch your shit for ten minutes at a time, but that's it.

Today,I went on you-tube looking for toy reviews of MP Prowl,I was mostly concerned about size scale & how it sizes up next to other deluxes or voyagers sized TF toys. Needless to say,the guy played this loud music in the beginning & had one of those annoying ads. The youtube video lasted well over 17 minutes & their were no size comparions done in either mode.

It's a good thing,Youtube has this feature that allows people to fast forward through the videos. because it would be pure torture to actually watch some of these videos in regular play mode.
