Yes I know I was supposed to not blog until the 2nd of January but I have a good reason to blog during the holidays!
My rant is related to 3 things: ipod Touch/iPhone/Youtube/Music Industry.
Why?
Because you cannot (at all) view any music videos that have advertisements in them.
You cannot play them or even find them on the device.
Doesn’t matter if you search in the built-in client or at youtube.com its the same videos like: Lady Gaga Bad Romance, Draft Punk: Around The World etc do not appear on the device.
The unofficial videos do appear but the official music videos are nowhere to be seen.
And yes I have photos as proof:
Video seen on my laptop.
Huh? First video gone on iPod Touch
I thought OK, I’ll copy/paste the video and sees what happens.
Cute (sarcastic): Youtube does not allow official videos on mobile devices.
I do not know if this is because Youtube is unable to display videos on the device because there are no advertisements, or because they are not allowed to for another reason.
YouTube is owned by Google who owns AdMob so they would be able to display an advertisement on the device so it must be for another reason.
So Youtube/Apple at least tell me that I am unable to view the video because I can’t instead of not even offering it to me.
Or better yet allow the video to play with the advertisements.
/end of long rant.
