This really sucks. Just posted a video of my band playing "Tangled Up in Blue". A fews seconds into the video, an ad for PowerDirector 15. This is an outrage. I never authorized this. I posted 4-5 other videos from the same gig today, none of them were diddled with in this way.

Really pissed.

Here's the video:

Hi Chuck,

No CL pop-up ad here when viewing. I did get a pop-up for a Home Security company with a smal "Google Ads" in the corner. (I had Googled a few Home Security firms a few days ago). So I'm pretty sure this is a Youtube/Google issue in tracking your browsing habits and offering up ads to comport with your tracked browsing interests. The second time I opened your video, I got a pop-up for Firestone Tires.

I understand you being "really pissed", but as I didn't see any CL pop-up ad in your upload, I completely doubt that CL is the main culprit to be pissed at.

Hopefully others will chime in.

Hi Chuck -

Just to re-iterate what Cranston's suggested, it's related to browsing history.

When I watched your video, I got an ad for Video Blocks. Screenshot attached.

Cheers - Tony

Same here. Watched start to finish and saw no ads at all.

What does Video Manager in YT show. Have you monetized the video yourself? If not then it might show a copyright strike and have been monetized by someone else.

p.s. - The fact that I use Adblock Plus might have something to do with the fact that I saw no ads. If so, I didn't realise that it worked on YT videos (that's a bonus!).

Still pissed, but not at Cyberlink.

It seems that, after years of not seeing ANY ads on my youtube videos, YouTube has decided to start inserting random ads. Perhaps others had seen this on their vids, but not me. Kind of annoying to see after all this time, but of course I realize it's a free service, and I have no moral or legal basis to complain. Stilll...

I had AdBlock running a while back, but that might have been on my desktop. I'll check. Chuck Puckett
