Lol, I'd rather wait 5 seconds than see an ad lol.
Frog, meet boiling water. This is standard play, like adding ads in the first place. First it’s one short, then slightly longer, then two in a row, then interspersed… eventually it’s commercial TV, just one big ad. Give em inch, they take a mile. Advertising shits in your head, don’t let it.
ads can be 30 seconds
Ads can be 15 minutes. Like they're adding goddamn infomercials now.
At least 2-3 times I would get an entire K-pop music video as an ad.
Sure I can be skipped, but it will play when I’m in the shower listening to a podcast.
I don’t speak Korean or listen to kpop, so it’s weird it’s being advertised to me as I’m not the target audience.
I've seen more than one hour long ad. It let you skip after 5 seconds, but imagine if someone were leaving it on as background.
When they first launched YouTube Red I remember they were throwing whole episodes of their shows up as pre-roll ads.
sacre bleuuu
Wait 5 seconds and it plays or bombarded with ads that, at best, takes 5 second and an manual action before watching a video?
Yeah, if I wasn't using Freetube on desktop I'm still not watching ads.
