But I've also heard of long ones too, so I don't know what to believe. David, I thought they are just short pop-ups during the video, like the ones on some Metacafe videos.

If you calculate the amount of videos you watch on Youtube and add in that extra amount of time, it really does add up. To see what it's like to have a commercial before what you want to watch, try anything from CNN.com, ironically.

Same thing as when you use crappy open-source applications just because they're "open-source" when there is a much better commercial alternative.
