Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer

Honestly, this might be good for the AD industry. Force them to get to the point quicker. Alternatively, we could see a return of epilepsy inducing flashing ads.

I like the idea of IRL billboard ads being “dismissable”. If the ad is too obnoxious, someone gets to press a button and wipe the billboard.

☝🤓 Erm akchually it’s not “AD”, but “ad”.

It’s a normal word, not an acronym. It’s a shortening of “advertisement”, or a further shortening of “advert” which is a shortening of “advertisement”. It surprises me that people do not realize this; it seems obvious.

  Thank you Sir Pedantry :D. “ad” just felt wrong somehow, but you are correct.
