youtube ads got longer
youtube ads got longer
For last 2 days when I go to watch a Youtube video there is a minute plu s ad to wait thru, when did they increase the ad lengths.
Can you skip those? The only ones that I can't skip here are ones that are about 5-10 seconds. The 1-2+ minute ads and multiple ads usually have a skip option.
companies are paying more for full ads so viewers see the full ad rather than the first few seconds
makes sense as more money for youtube stockholders and more money for content providers
both full-ads and skip-ads options are available if you want to buy ads on youtube

Avin I think YT is giving you a hint, go work and stop watching videos
My thoughts are it is based on your viewing habits.

Just increasing investment in the long time that people have nowadays in front of screens ..
YouTube is a business not a charity, a short ad is a fair trade off for the service they provide.

if advertisers want to pay for 60 second ads that can be skipped after 5 seconds, good
if advertisers want to pay for 60 second ads that can not be skipped, that's good too
if you don't want to watch ads, go to pbs ... they don't show ads on pbs
or buy a netflix or amazon or paid porn subscription ... and be sure not to put in-video ads and banner ads on your website
after all ... this is the age of freebie socialism for everybody

ads serve a purpose - may people click on your ads and buy 200,000 times from you
