A recent youtube fuckup

Old flash? Go Upgrade is the latest thing google put on youtube. When this happened I could only watch videos now by watching them via the user's channel. Yep the video would disappear otherwise and "Old Flash? Go Upgrade!" will appear in a link where the video should be, I shit you not. I made a video as well. I've read this is due to google wanted you to see their popups, but your adsense or popupblocked stops them, thus google is like "NO U" and blocks your video. It had something to do with their ads going out of hand, and the fact that they hate Iexplorer
Google updates on YT are GRAND

Note:I am sorry if this is in the wrong section, I'm not quite sure where the "off-topic" forums are.

    About your Flash player not working.

    You are a genius.

    I'm sorry but, you need to do your research, or pay attention. This happened for two days, to 1000s of users, and had NOTHING to do with a flashplayer. I have the latest flash player. And the link "go upgrade" took you nowhere. This was youtube's fault.

    There really needs to be a post count limit on minimum numbers of posts a user must have before they can make a new thread.

    Because ad-supported sites should always strive to make their sites compatible with adblocking plugins.

    Sometimes things cost money. Sometimes you pay directly, sometimes you deal with ads.

    Not just that, he's complaining that it doesn't work because he's actively trying circumvent the reason why he doesn't pay for it.
