Since this morning, if I visit a video, I get a black screen, if I watch from the main page, my screen flickers.

Thanks.

That's just sad, and extremely irritating that it's not prosecutable to users who on boarded before add as bait and switch (same with cable), when they originally sold the product precisely as not having to watch ads.

Additionally, ad time is probably close to content time, ads are not screened, and too often are propaganda. I am noticing media rapidly approaching what Bradbury described in Fahrenheit 451.
