Comment on today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are
BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 year agoThe time and set duration for their ads is based on viewer habits, so they are basically banking that you are too lazy to skip it or are out of the room and they can still claim they ran the whole ad.

Recently in a 5 minute video an ad came up that showed it was an hour and 10 minutes long. There is no good reason for that garbage

Dude with kids cartoons it’s horrible. 5+ min ads disguised as cartoons for 2min videos. It’s absurd.

If you use the kids YouTube app then there are no ads. On tv, you can use the regular YouTube app to switch to your child’s account and then no more ads.
