Wondered when that was coming.

Google said that it plans to post ads only on videos supplied by its official content suppliers, not on the amateur home videos which dominate the site.

I suppose its not all bad.

Great, more damned advertising...

If that pays the bills...

Adverts invade everything. I'm surprised me condoms don't have ads on the sides.

I don't see many ads, but the fact of the matter is that they are an unfortunate requirement. Google or not.

I heard about the extension before I heard about the ads themselves. Those okes are fast & don't like ads.

Thats because it's so damn difficult to get ad-sense to work with your ad-enhanced gear.
