Hello all,

Another option for those who do not want to download the videos is ad blocking software. This is what I use:

I’m now running into the issue of having to sit through an ad before every clip, which obviously won’t work in a 50 minute class (beyond the ethical implications). I searched and found that you can now pay $9.99 for "Youtube Red,” which allows you to access videos ad-free. I’m wondering, however, if there are any other ways around this that any of you have found.
