Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement) - feddit.nl

Lemmy

The YouTube owner explains that normal non-skippable in-stream ads are limited to just 15 seconds in length.

This is bullshit. I don’t use an ad-blocker and often get a full minute of ad. And an extra minute if I happen to pause the stream for like 30 seconds and come back to it.

This is bullshit. I don’t use an ad-blocker.

You’re right. It IS bullshit that you don’t use an adblocker. It’s kind of like saying “This is bullshit! I don’t use oven mitts as I take hot metal trays out of the oven! Why am I the only one getting burned???”

You’re misunderstanding. They are calling out the claim of 15 seconds explicitly, they aren’t necessarily complaining about the ads.

Don’t hand wave their statement by arguing against something they aren’t talking about.
