“Placement” ie. on the timeline, friend. Not target.

Right but the swedish pampers ad and the walmart as will be different lengths so the timings wont be the same

Not necessarily, but sure?

So then after one person has had 2 ads that last a total of 40 seconds and another has had 2 that lasted 70 the timing is completly off for how far into the videos the ads are

I mean placement within the video timeline. E.g. do all users see the ad at 0:00 or 2:00 or does it jump around for everyone to prevent it from being tagged.

And when the pampers ad is 24 second long and the walmart ad is 55 seconds, even if they start at the same time, they won’t end at the same time, and now the next ad starts at a different time as well.

Sure, in a reality where that happens, but that isn’t ours. Ads are overwhelmingly made to match the standard 0:15 and 0:30.

In Youtube, where you can get entire movies or 5-hour live streams as ads? That reality?
