Can somebody explain to me why a lot of people complain about ads when I have never ever seen one before watching a video on giantbomb.com?

@Choi: I'm not from America and I see them too. At least I saw. It was when GB was all ODST. There was a ad video of about 20 secs. Now is only the ODST wiki editing contest ad thats below the vid. Nothing that bothers me.

Americans got fucked over with all the ads, it's ridiculous.  
 
It would be fine if it was only 2 times a day like they promised, but this damn glitch is annoying as all hell.

I haven't seen any ads as of yet, probably because they haven't fully worked out their localization (after all it wouldn't make much sense to advertise something in central Europe that you can't buy in central Europe) but for the material they're offering I wouldn't begrudge them implementing advertisements. If it keeps the site up and running, it's worth it. As long as the site doesn't become a small embedded frame inside an internet billboard, making you double-check before you even move your cursor, let alone clicking anything.

If you're going to bitch about ads, do it somewhere else. These comments are just for how shitty the QotW is.

@Strife777: It's probably because you live in a country where that commercial does not air, consider yourself lucky... Although it's only one ad so whatever.

I thought this would be a popular one. 
 
As far as the ads, I think they're great, if they have a limit. I usually watch videos in blocks, 10 a day every 4 to 5 days. Seeing and hearing the odst ad over and over drives me nuts.

Firefox and Adblock Plus, default settings.
 
I legitimately did not know that there were ads until I tried to disable ABP to see what everyone was whining about.
 
I don't even get the ads before videos.

Wow, those two were pretty good. And what the heck people? I'd of thought this QOTW would've gotten tons of submissions, it was a good one! 
If I had a video camera or something, I'd of submitted one.
But seriously, this had some potential, and only two people did it? *sigh*

The ad banners and shit don't bother me 
 
the same two annoying ass ODST videos (which are both much louder than the typical GB video's audio btw) were lame after the first 48-72 hours that they were live, here we are weeks after the launch of the game in question and every...single...video... has them. 
 
Makes using the site a real pain.  
 
Edit: I think it's mostly to do with there being only two real ads (the batman one is once in a blue moon) and the fact they're way louder than the movies I'm watching, that makes them so rant-inspiring.. 
 
Anyhow.. yeah I haven't watched hardly any videos on the site in the last couple weeks because of it.

Eh, just stop QotW please. Definitely my least favorite video feature on the site and makes me feel stupid sometimes.
 
GB has a userbase of how big? And only 2 submissions were received? I think that's saying something. And this isn't the first time this has happened either.

I wonder what would happen if one week nobody sent in answers. What then? Does the GB crew attempt to answer the question themselves?

I wouldn't say this is the exact reason for this week's lack of submissions but it might be possible that some of the regulars are getting tired of putting in a ton of work only to have a bunch of W-hats that don't submit anything tell them that their entry sucks amongst other mature comments. I'd be willing to bet that they'd actually get more responses if they disabled commenting on this entire feature.
 
Before I get called a cry-baby I'd like to point out that my few submissions haven't actually received many negative comments but it seemed like every week someone was telling Lemon and Dan or the other regulars to just give it up and stop submitting.
 
Personally, I don't enter most weeks because I don't have the time and I'm still a little miffed that they spelled my username wrong the last time I submitted.
