Don't you find it absolutely annoying when you’re right in the middle of an interesting video clip on YouTube and it breaks for an ad? Well, that is about to change real soon. 

YouTube has announced on its blog that it will be rolling out a new feature that places two ads back-to-back in videos. Viewers will have the option to skip directly to the content if they do not want to watch the ads in their entirety.
