    It has really become annoying so the options:
    • Let it play to end and use second device to find content
    • Abort YouTube play and restart play of YouTube video
    • Hit ‘skip ad’
    My interest is getting the advertiser to pay the max. I’m not ready to make ‘anti’ advertisement video but it is tempting.

    I want the content creators to get maximum revenue paid by advertisers. Most ads are fairly short, no problem. But one ad was listed as +20 min blocking content I wanted. Worse, they repeat the same ads I’ve already bounced. So my problems:
    • Excessive long, rare but there
    • Repeating the same ads rejected before … boring

    Almost NOBODY EVER sits through these ads; poor value for advertising $’s?

    I let them run while I get a beverage or other biology break. Just curious if we know advertiser costs abort when skipped or letting it to play through?

    Especially the 30 minute infomercial that never tells you what that one trick or thing is, but is just selling 90 day supply of vitamins.
