Best advert on Youtube

[powertools]

I guess like most people I get bored with the ads on Youtube but today I was passing time on there and the ad from Workshop Heaven came up and I have to say that it is the only ad I have ever watched right through when given the chance to skip.
I have nothing to do with Workshop Heaven and have never been a customer even but I was very impressed with the advert and can see the amount of effort they have put into it and hope that it gives them good results they deserve it.

Are you after a discount?
I havent watched it / seen it advertised yet

 

[powertools]

I am sorry that you think that I just thought that it was a very good advert. Sadly I would find it hard to justify the cost of most of the the tools they sell regardless of any discount,

I was just kidding, hence the smileys ☺

Sounds good! Would it also stop the video adverts from playing before, during and after any YouTube videos that I’m trying to watch?

Trouble is they don't work when watching on smart TV, unless you PAY!

I took out premium for Christmas no adds but at £15.99 it will only be for one month.

yes, before and during. I now hate watching YouTube on anything but my laptop.

What a nuisance. I'm sure I'll have to pay one day, nothing stays free forever!

Just had a look at the stats, my ad blocker has, to date, blocked 419,038 adverts appearing on my screen.

Mine's about 300,000 - it was up to 1,500,000 before I reinstalled it because of a glitch and nearly as many the time before.

Intriguing. I have Adblock installed but I still get those wretched initial adds. TBH I'd be happy to pay a small amount of monthly dosh to view ad-free but the usury that YT charge makes that unlikely.

I just installed adblock a few hours ago after reading this thread.

It says

Already.

I use android machines a lot. Is there an effective adblocker I could use with that

 

[clogs]

does an add blocker mess up other stuff esp on Apple products....?

Occasionally a page, predominantly news papers etc, spot that you are using an ad blocker and require you to turn it off but apart from that I haven't noticed any issues at all.
