  • Just days ago, CZcams cracked down on adblockers once again. Today, reports suggest they'll be introducing a new type of annoying ads - ones you CAN'T block on your TV...

      This is why the argument of using an ad blocker is stealing from youtubers is invalid all because of this. The ads aren't used as payment to watch the video, its sole purpose is to fund a public free website. If it was soley to act as payment for the video, than it would only be on monetized channels, it ain't.

      This will never change because people still refer to this problem as a 'CZcams problem.' I swear, corporations are going to keep bending people over until they get smart enough to learn how to address these issues. Until people learn how to single out people in an organization, they'll keep getting beat over the head like this. Maybe try calling out the head of marketing? PR? Director of Ad Partnerships? 'CZcams' didn't do this. CZcams isn't even a person. But if I was a betting man, I'd say a person or a team did this. And companies can just keep doing what they do until people either leave, or get smart enough to actually address the right people.

Then CZcams started shoving ads down everyone's throats, then they started allowing the cable TV dinosaurs onto the website, and now, we have the same back-to-back unskippable ads that you can find on TV.

    I am someone who does not check their emails unless I am expecting an email. So when Google got rid of Google Play music and put out some notice for people to manually move all their songs and they had like a year to move them to CZcams Music, I completely missed the memo. I paid for Spotify for a year and didnt use the HUNDREDS of dollars worth of music I bought. When my subscription to Spotify ran out I went to use my music I bought and it was all gone. I looked it up and because I didn't manually move it it was gone forever. Completely wasted my money. My question is with a company as technologically advanced and rich as Google why couldn't they automatically move all that??? That is just one of the reasons I have zero guilt never letting CZcams run ads. In my opinion I already paid to get rid of them when they took the music I bought. Also why I'll NEVER use CZcams Music.

    I remember when there were only pop up ads on YT that you could just close with an X in the top right corner.
    Then they added the long format ads, after that they added double ads.
    Every time there is an unskippable ad nowadays I reload the vid but I either have to repeat it like 6-7 times now (last year it did the trick after one reload) or the vid just goes back to the start again and I have to find where I was because I was tabbed out.
    I don't want to hear an ad that's 2-3x louder than the vid I am trying to watch, especially when I am watching the said vid while trying to fall asleep.
    Besides that I am not getting anything directly for watching the ads that are often horrible oversexualized mobile games for kids or a scam or some beauty product for women.
    All what YT is doing is just making me lose interest in the video I was watching, simple as that.
    Unfortunately because of this, I am getting funnelled into shorts, which is a format of content I want to avoid, but it's pretty much the only viable content format because you can scroll away from an ad easily.
    Now they want these pause ads...
    When I stop a video because let's say, someone in my family is talking to me, I don't want an ad to keep screaming.
    I sincerely hope for a better competitor to cause the downfall of the greedy MFs who run this platform.

    CZcams is an advertising platform. It doesn’t give a hoot about its viewers as that’s their product. There can never be a “healthy trade off” with companies whose revenue is based on advertising. Ever. It’s inevitable that ads will grow over time because no company wants, nor can keep, their revenue stagnant. As the company grows and requires more expense, who is going to pay for it? Well, with an ad based business model, the ads pay for that growth so ads must also grow. This is why we should never support ad based business models. Those types of businesses offer 0 value to you. They are only valuable to their advertisers.
    Use ad blockers aggressively. It is now our duty to do so. Stop watching CZcams through the tv app. Stream from your phone or use hdmi to plug in a computer and stream from there.

      electric cars are worst for US
      are just microwave that has no doors to seal the heat
      good for the world bad for our heath
      Smoking only effect small amounts
      electric cars will effect everyone even a family of 6
