        well it's simple.
        Youtube makes around 10-13 billion a year with advertising.
        I don't see any other way for them than to spam you with advertisement even when you don't see it doesn't mean is isn't there.

        Ofcourse this depends on wich video you watch. Cause the poster of that video decides the amount of advertisemend is on that specific video.

        So that it blocks that much advertisemend isn't rlly surprising to me.
        It's completely normal.

        extra:
        youtube takes a 45% share of the earnings of the video posters.
        so it's cleat how much money goes around throught youtube.

          Ah I see I see. I was just surprised that a 30 odd minute video would contain 141 ads.

              Trackers are also involved.

                Oh thanks for the info. So it means that whenever I am playing a video, youtube will constantly send trackers to their servers or requests for ads to their servers?

                So when the request is blocked youtube will resend the request, hence increasing ads blocked?

                Thankyou

                      @technewb:

                      nah, no adverts needed here to make money from the users.

                      they sell tracking and 3rd party cookies. see for yourself using that link from above.
