Yes. I should have mentioned that those were my personal preferences as far as watching ads on shows. I don't buy or sell ads and have nothing to do with that industry.
Some sites actually throw 30 second ads up before the video plays, as if you're about to watch an entire 30-minute television show. Some sites also don't have the ads burned into the video, meaning that you have to let the ad play until the end with no fast-forward control before it re-directs you to the URL of the video you wanted to see in the first place.
