I belong to some Marine group on Facebook.  I got an invite from a friend to join about a year ago, so I did, although I'm not sure why I stayed in the group because it's mostly a bunch of awful old vets who are so far to the right that they'd probably cut off their left hand simply because it's on the left.  Anyway, I check the place out every now and then mostly just to rile some feathers.  I checked in today and noticed that a guy posted a YouTube link to a video of random Vietnam footage with CCR's Fortunate Son as the accompanying soundtrack. It also had a dozen or so "likes" and about 7 or 8 comments from guys saying how great the song was and how it and how proud they are to be Americans, etc, etc.  And 1 guy even said that he loved the song "back in 'Nam" and that it's been his favorite song for the last 40 years.   

So I left a comment asking if any of them ever bothered to actually listen to the lyrics or if they realized that the song is actually a big FU to the government, the war and to the rich.  About 5 minutes later the entire thread was deleted.  lol

From facebook:

QuoteCongress will be voting on passing a bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks. Please flood congress with your calls and emails telling them to VOTE "YES" before they vote tomorrow! CLICK HERE TO CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE ----> http://ht.ly/cC0B6
Here is what I sent to my congressman.

Please Read before voting on H.R. 3803 tomorrow!
...
Mr. Aaron Schock,

If I was alive during Nazi Germany, I would like to think that I would have considered the Jews equal human beings. I hope I would have stood up to the Nazis to defend the lives of the Jews. I hope that I would have stood at the barbed-wire doors of concentration camps with signs protesting the murder of innocent persons.

If I was alive here in America during the Pre-Civil Rights Movement era, I would like to think that I would have also considered African-Americans to be equal human beings with equal rights. I hope that I would have stood at the side of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a man of great Christian Virtue, and helped him make a difference sooner.

If I you were alive during the largest Genocide in human history, what would you do? Would you be on the side of innocent children that are being aborted secretly and shamefully everyday? Or would you be a Noble Leader who took charge and made their vote count. Will you help or hinder the morality of this once Great Country. Will you please help lead us?

Please Vote "Yes" on H.R. 3803 (the DC bill prohibiting abortions after 20 wks)

1. Genocide icehole
B. I'm not a historian, but I'm pretty confident a person protesting the concentration camps would have been shot immediately.

I actually would have agreed with banning abortions after 20 weeks since 5 months seems like plenty enough time to decide if the pregnancy should be terminated; however, after reading this stupid argument, I felt obliged to contact the congressman to ask he vote no on h.r. 3803.

They don't.  Regular uploaders don't have ads on their videos.  The big networks like NBC or CBS that post content have it prior to their videos and so do a lot of musicians and such.  It's been that way for quite some time.  But if you're wanting to watch home video of some kid getting hit in the nuts with a soccer ball or something, then you're probably not getting a commercial. 

Some companies do reach out to the most popular YouTube users though and pay them to advertise on their videos, but that's a pretty small segment of YouTube users.

I'm guessing that you're pulling up music from the artists' YouTube pages?  If so, that's why you're getting the ads. 

I know you've got to have a pretty deep music collection.  Why are you listening to music on YouTube instead of just using whatever media player you have on your computer?
