I feel like i would hate ad less if they let the creator know when and ad was comming. It would be kind of like TV was; "and I'll tell you this after the break". Because those midrolls usually just break a sentence in half!

Well seeing how little tv people watch now I doubt it would be a success. I can't and will not put up with midroll ads (why I think tv is not seen as much as the past).

It is odd that youtube managed to regress to a state worse then a more or less dead media, but the line has been drawn.
