Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement)
(www.androidauthority.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I haven't read the article, but surely this is an accident? I have almost no faith left in our capitalistic society, but surely even Youtube understands that nobody is going to watch an hour long ad, right?
The most mysterious one to me happened in 2015 or so. I was watching Zero Punctuation, and it served me an hour long computer networking lecture as an ad. Like, some Indian guy delivering a power point presentation. I was like, what's the monetization strategy here, guys? Did this dude pay you to serve his lectures as ads? What?
A lot of people leave YouTube running in the background, so they might listen to it.
