Hopefully we move towards a future where advertising is being targeted based on the location of the ad, rather than the person viewing it. If I am watching a car review, I have no problem watching an ad for a car (someone has to pay for the video), since that ad makes sense in that location. But I don't want ads for cars to follow me around the internet.

While I mostly agree, it is very annoying seeing the exact same car insurance or <insert random local budget car dealer> ad three times during a ten minute video on YouTube about a super car I was interested in.
Yes but video ads are annoying no matter how you do them. It's because they get in your face and you have to wait for them, unlike picture ads. Nobody likes video ads, since the beginning of internet ads. They should just go the way of the popup-window.
Are you telling me that you don't like making small talk or having a quick friendly chat with somebody and than seeing ads for the service or product everywhere you turn for the next few days?
