I've come to think that if I wait a few days and let the thoughts gather in my head before posting one of these I'll end up being able to type it up without clutching at the proverbial straws. Alas, all I've managed to grasp is even more fucking straws. Turns out watching YouTube videos all day every day doesn't give you any more thoughts. Not interesting ones anyway.
Speaking of YouTube, however, what is the deal with the adverts? Whether it's the ones on the video screen - which you can, fortunately, in most cases skip after five seconds and grant yourself an earlier opportunity to view the content you clicked to see - or the ones at the right hand side of the page riddled with animations that will slam the brakes on your motherfucking processor. Frustrating. I understand how advertising works and all that, but do they have to take up more processing power than the rest of the fucking webpage that they stain? It's like a giant, animated skidmark on white boxer shorts. You don't get billboards that decrease the acceleration of a motor vehicle, so why have adverts that make the webpage take much longer to load?
It's not just on YouTube, they're everywhere. It's just more annoying when you reach an important stage in the middle of viewing a video clip and the advert on the page decides to change making the video pause for a breath of fuck all. It's normally shopping sites you've done business with suggesting shit you've already bloody bought. 'You may also like...' Yes, I might like that 'cause I bought it yesterday you cunts!
The ad's before the video are every bit as irritating. Too many times I've been forced to sit through a 30-second clip of 'Bold 2 In 1' just to witness a 6-second clip of someone punching their fucking budgie in the face. YouTube becoming marketable was the worst thing that could've happened to that website.
