YouTube testing highly annoying un-skippable ads
Google owned video sharing service YouTube does not make a lot of money for their parent company.
The bandwidth costs are high and they have to pay royalties for videos that are delivered for free to the web users.
The service allows for video embeds which also steals away a lot of traffic from their own website.
Google has been trying with several advertising options to generate revenues from videos hosted on YouTube.
The latest method is turning out to be a soar experience for the web users.
One a clip hosted on the CBS channel, a video is presented with a 25 second long advertisement which cannot be forwarded or skipped.
The comments on this video show the sentiments of YouTube audience on these forced ads.
