An hour of YouTube ads is simply apocalyptic
IDK why the hell it's allowed, but a lot of times people will buy adspace and just put an entire video in it, or worse, a company buys the adspace and puts the entire pilot to a TV show in there. I've seen both things happen more than once. Who in their right mind clicks on a YouTube video, sees the pilot to a show they've never heard of or a random clickbait video and thinks "Oh, I wanna watch this!"
The ad driven internet needs a severe correction
The net worth of tech giants also needs a severe correction.
Not just tech giants of course, pretty much all large >billion dollar companies need it too. But tech is a great place to start.
the first time i watched the lego movie it (the full film) was an ad played during the trailer for the second movie. and it (the movie) didn't have ads in it.
This is wild haha I wonder if it was just someone trying to piss off the studios by popping that in there for free or something? I guess that way it's guaranteed to never have ads for anyone, ad blocker or not.
We watched that ad too. Hilariously enough it was on a video for the trailer for Lego movie two or whatever.
The worst part about those is
When the ad is actually something I want to watch, there is no way to open it as a seperate video. Once I click off it's fucking gone forever. It's such backwards design. The few times I have interest in an ad I can't even properly check watch it!
the first time i watched the lego movie, it (the full feature) was an ad played during the trailer for the second movie--and it didn't have any ads in it either.
They didn't want you to spoil the first movie, so they made sure you had the chance to see it. That's a hundred percent something LEGO would do.
Thanks for grounding me. That make sense
‘Sir, would you like some video with your ad?’
