Why do people hate VEVO?

Well, there's the ads. That's annoying, but everything has ads these days, so I don't really care.
Then there's the not making things available in certains countries, but still, they're hardly the only people doing it.
However, daring to try and advertise Rhianna and other pop acts through banners and recommended videos while I'm watching rock videos...unfor-gorram-givable.

The iPhone/iPod youtube app is pretty shit, alot of stuff doesnt show up in results, what I did was go to m.youtube.com and save that link to the springboard/menu/desktop whatever it isFawxy said:
I'm not sure either.
I've no problem with ads (yeah, they are annoying) but so many people have YT partnerships now there's adverts everywhere.
They do censor songs, but most of the time the artist has their own channel where it's not censored.
I too, would like to see why more people dislike it. Genuinely curious.

Flashy widescreen, annoying as shit ads, blocking the music in other countries, making the videos unwatchable on mobile browsers, the occasional removing of videos that are using a VEVO-dictated song (while at the same time making the videos unwatchable on mobile platforms again).
It's not that they're run by Darth Vader and his league of Nazis, it's just that it's not that good.

For me it's the censorship. I prefer to listen to my music the way the artist intended it to sound, not with either gaping holes where words have just been taken out or some sort of weird sound effect over the word(s) that doesn't fit the song at all.
The ads are what get me. I hate ads, and with VEVO, they are pretty much unavoidable. Want to watch a Rob Zombie music video? Too bad, 30 second disneyland commercial first.
But, as an old-school heavy metal fan, much of the stuff I like is not on VEVO. XD

Yeah same here lol I knew of vevo for ages but never watched anything through them until today, Luckily for us, old-school metal from like 30-40 years ago doesnt tend to be held very tightly on the copyright leesh because the labels dont really care about it anymore so its easy as to find on youtubeBreakfastMan said:
They maintain a complete monopoly on the songs they own on Youtube, so if you have used a song they own in your video, even a tiny snippet of it, they will get the video completely taken down or at the very least mute the entire video, and they excercise these rights to levels that Detective Monk would call excessive.
And then they force 30 second unskippable ads into the beginning of all their videos, every single time you watch them, which is kind of dickish.

I hated it at first. I was probably more on the bandwagon than forming my own opinion. But I've hopped off it. I could care less now, they need money and it's 30 seconds out of my life, which I'll hop over here for that time while waiting, so ya not to much of a problem.
I was never bothered by youtube ads tbh, I simply hit mute, check on my facebook or something, come back to the video, enjoy itTiger Sora said:
