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.
