Erm..... When I click the link the blind person on the list hears: A load of dross about a program to improve the grammar of your writing.A guy from the US extolling the virtues of his money making system who wants you to click a link which you can't if you are blind to a pdf which no doubt is inaccessible and is only to get you onto his mug list, then a rock track with completely non understandable lyrics based on the riff from our local Ice Cream vendors short tune, then I gave up

Boo f'ckn hoo, if you can't see the content then that is your problem, not that of the poster, ignore content not available or relevant to you and get over it. It is not the responsibility of the poster to submit content in a format that it suitable for your disability. Your incessant bleating on inaccessible content is tiresome.
Brian Gaff (Sofa) expressed precisely :
There is a button to cancel some ads appears on most ads after a few second. You can usually cancel them after a countdown of 4 seconds.
They're called adverts, youtube has them, ublock stops them.
F****ng wonderful.

Just discovered this last night: why hadnt I heard of them before?

You need to read the Equality act 2010 at
Direct discrimination Indirect discrimination
and that there is a duty to make adjustments for other peoples accessibility requirements.
I am fortunate that auto subtitling is available on much of Youtube's content but I can see it is seriously lacking in audio description.
If you ane unfortunate to acquire an age related disability such as blindness or deafness...... according to you, it will be *your* problem you cannot hear or see content?
Haven't you found out how to skip YouTube adds after a few seconds?
It seems you would oversee the banning of all videos for the sake of the blind and all radio for those who are deaf.
While I haven't seen the video being so critical is unbecoming.
For those who want to have an audio description there are charities who perform this function. Even you could have provided a running commentary about the clip. Instead you chose to spend all your energy being critical.
Perhaps some adjustment might be necessary? Better than having a chip on your shoulder.

Is it *my* problem that you may have a disability?
FFS, I'm not black, I don't have (I do really) a disability, I'm a bloke. I am doomed to carry the burden of those who feel that they are being discriminated against and I have to STFU because my voice is that of intolerance.
OOI, what do you do when you venture outdoors and cannot see/hear the world around you? Bet you don't stamp your little feet and bitch about the universe "discriminating".
And which side of the bed the above poster got at of this morning is not in doubt. It is not the blindness or other attribute of the person that makes them disabled its the short sighted design of a non inclusive world. But hen I guess you would be the guy riding an electric scooter along the footway and sod the elderly who have to jump out of your way? My point was simple and cannot be said often enough so get over it if you don't like it. You don't have to read what post, after all, do you?
Of course a more considerate person might have replied, well sadly you have to see it to understand the comment if indeed that be the case, but since the poster expressly mentioned a soundtrack, not a video, then I sort of expected some kind of auditory obvious item. So call me thick if I missed it,but never suggest that the reason for me not appreciating something is my fault, it clearly is not in this instance due to a disability of any kind. Brian
Max Demian laid this down on his screen :
I have only just found out, how to block the ads completely - uBlock Origin blocks the Youtube ads completely in Firefox. With it installed, you just need to load it and click play.

I think the issue is that Brian repeatedly moans HERE about links that he can?t follow or view, as if this is going to change anything. Yes, we know he?s blind. It?s a shame for him. Undoubtably there are links shared here that won?t work for him but we really don?t need to be reminded repeatedly that he can?t follow some links. It?s not the link poster?s fault.
What we should do is always include some sort of description of what the link leads to but as sharers of links, we can?t control how they work for a third party.

Install an ad blocker in your web browser, it will remove much content that will be particularly irksome for screen reader users.
(it was just a you tube video - and it was the soundtrack that was relevant)
Actually that is not a bad idea anyway... Some people seem fond of posting links with no clue or suggestion what they are two or about.
This: "then a rock track with completely non understandable lyrics" is an auditory obvous item. If you cannot understand it -- well, there's the lyrics in text right under the video bit, in the description. Scroll down a bit.
And right below it, an offer to buy Youtube Premium and skip ads, ublock is free, also kills the ads, and also has been mentioned.
This is my turn in the barrel, next time: someone else, please.
