PHTV Adverts for EVERY video.......Please do something!

[bridgland]

I love cars and enjoy sites such as Petrolicious and was very excited to see PHTV come back after years of no videos on the site, but the Advert experience is killing it for me. Why is it that the PH TV videos now have a 30 second advert for every video you click on? I know this has been asked before, but nothing has been done (maybe it's because you need to satisfy the marketing and advertising people) but how come the likes of Youtube can give you the option to dismiss after 5 seconds and PH TV makes you watch it every single time?

I understand the needs to be commercially astute, but the fact that I cannot choose to ignore it, if I have already seen it, or it is of no interest to me turns me away from PistonHeads and certainly has me questioning whether I want anything to do with the advertiser too (I currently have a major aversion to Scottish Widows for the foreseeable future).

The can't even bring myself to watch the latest PHTV episode due to this non-sensical approach to the adverts in EVERY single video.

Please do something about this finally?

Agreed - we are working with the third party to get this resolved, especially for videos that are less than 30 seconds.... somewhere the work to do this is stuck, but I will continue to chase.
