Annoying YouTube feature:

I often set up some music to listen to while working on the computer. I leave YouTube open in a separate window. Occasionally, the music will stop. I'll click on to the YouTube window to see what's up.

There will be a window with the question: "Still Listening? Yes - No"

How annoying. Are they trying to make sure my eyes are still in view of the advertising?

It's just that the music videos tend to be the longest I click on; ten hours in some cases.

I remember when YouTube had a time limit of ten minutes per video...

Check to see if there's an add-on or "plug-in" for your browser that will automatically bypass that message (or that will make it think the "Yes" option has been clicked.)
