YouTube on iPad - why so bad?

[DuraAce]

When I'm watching youtube on iPad either via the app or in safari or chrome loads of videos won't play because "the content owner hasn't made this available on mobile"

What on earth is the point of that? I though perhaps advert related but I still get ads at the start of other videos.

Any plans for this to change or any workaround? iPad is redundant at the moment, I'm back to using my PC.

Still makes no sense to me, my ipad is wifi only so it's the same as using my Laptop in my eyes. I still get plenty of ads which I tolerate but it's such a shame that a site, as you say with almost unlimited funds can't get stuff right.

If they won't make certain videos available then they could at least remove ones that won't play from the search results!
