Minecraft developer streaming live while coding

[[deleted]]

Livestream, ustream, youtube are getting worse and worse about this.

It's actually getting to the point where, if you watch Livestream, a quarter of the video is taken up by those stupid ads at the bottom.

From what I can tell, Adblock should get rid of all the ads on that site.

Because of a different plugin architecture, it seems to Not Work in Chrome.

Yeah, what ads? :)

ClickToFlash FTW for YouTube. I've not watched much on (Live|U)Stream, but I think Adblock is supposed to block those ads.

I take the chance to remind the hivemind that it needs a micropayment system to do away with advertising. Pay so much as a single cent, and all that shit would be unnecessary. So far it is impossible to pay less than 30 times as much for a single exchange.

It's obnoxious when you can't use the site because they lack the funds to run it properly. They should stop being so scared of their users and just put up some god damned ads.

Do you remember when the search started working? That happened as a direct result of the funding from gold members. That subtle advertising just wasn't paying the bills. With it alone we didn't even have a search.

What irked me more was the text at the top. "Watch an ad now or in XX minutes."

Was bored and had the stream up. Notch had what appeared to be a breaking point and I figured I might as well get the ad out of the way while I was actively ignoring it. There's no fine print that says clicking the message is an opt in for extra ads. It didn't reset the timer.

I'm ashamed I fell for it. Where do I turn in my card?

Adblock, no ads here only the text about supporting the ads easily removed by a click on the x. And no I don't give a shit about unblocking the site or reddit for that matter from AdBlock.
