Yeah, way to address concerns about privacy and such.... We'll block their platform from accessing our dominating service.

Wow, I am so glad they opened my eyes to Microsoft's hypocrisy... Oh wait. No they didn't..

I've never seen an advert on my official android Youtube app.

Really cheesyboy not even the skip this ad in 5 secs..4..3..?

Although I'm a tad surprised over this I can imagine Google quietly laughing to themselves over it...

Well the Windows Phone market share is growing and maybe Google are getting a bit uncomfortable with that fact. Just checked the YouTube app on my Lumia 620 anyway and I can confirm it's not working.

all of them are hypocrites and crawling to your wallets where the money is. so dont think google is better than M$, both are worse than each other.

there are hundreds of applications and softwares that block YT ads and allow Vids download, why google didnt block any of these?!

HTML5 my a$$, Google themselves didnt develop their app on HTML5.

No, not even that. I've been wondering how they expect to make any money from it.

Maybe I'm watching the wrong videos....?

I get adverts usually 1 in every 3 videos I watch. Don't really bother me, some are actually quite good.

I'd say I get ads in say 1 in 10, but then again sometimes I get 3 in a row! ;)
