The Rise of Ads on YouTube: A Growing Frustration. Chapter -1

 


In recent months, YouTube users have noticed a big increase in how often they see ads, and it’s causing a lot of frustration. Here’s a closer look at what’s happening:

             

1. More Ads, More Often: YouTube has started showing more ads than before. Instead of just one ad before a video, you’re now often seeing two or even three ads one after the other. This change means that viewers have to sit through more ads before they can watch their videos, which many people find really annoying.

2. Ads When Switching Videos: If you like to jump from one video to another, you’ll notice that ads pop up every time you make a switch. Even if YouTube is having trouble loading or the app freezes, you still end up seeing ads. This makes it feel like you’re always waiting for an ad to finish, no matter what.

3. Constant Frustration: Because of the rise in ad frequency, many people are finding ways to avoid long ad breaks by quickly changing videos. However, this only makes things more frustrating since ads keep showing up no matter how many times you switch. It feels like you’re spending more time watching ads than actually enjoying the videos you want to see.

4. Why This Is Happening: YouTube is showing more ads because they need to make more money. The platform is trying to boost its revenue by increasing the number of ads viewers see. While ads are a part of how YouTube can offer free content, the way they are being used now is making the viewing experience less enjoyable for many people.

Overall, the increase in ad frequency is making YouTube less fun for viewers. The balance between showing enough ads to support the platform and keeping users happy seems to be tipping in favor of more ads, which is causing a lot of frustration among users.

Cybersecurity Giant CrowdStrike Triggers Worldwide Computer to Blue Screen of Death

    Recently, a widespread issue has paralyzed computers globally, initially mistaken for a cyber attack. Speculations pointed fingers at Microsoft, as only Windows systems seemed affected. However, the real culprit was CrowdStrike, a major cybersecurity firm renowned for its endpoint protection services, akin to antivirus for corporate fleets of computers. The problem stemmed from an automatic update pushed by CrowdStrike, designed to enhance security through its endpoint sensors. Unfortunately, a critical bug slipped into the update, causing affected computers—running CrowdStrike's software—to crash irreparably. Since the sensors operate at a deep system level, the glitch caused entire systems to enter a continuous cycle of crashes, known ominously as the "blue screen of death." CrowdStrike quickly acknowledged the issue and provided a fix, albeit a cumbersome one. Affected PCs must be manually booted into safe mode to remove specific files, a process that needs to be r...
