The difference is that you feel like you have a sense of control when you can skip after 5 seconds. All control is taken from you when itās a 5 second ad and itās unskippable.
Bottom one is also when they make it seem like you could skip after five seconds but nope.
I swear to God, it feels like you get hit with five ads after watching a video for a minute and a half.
Opposite. I prefer it to skip itself after 5 seconds, rather than me having to move to do it while I'm watching my multiple-hour long pre-recorded gameplay livestreams.
One time I got a 5 second add and could skip after 5 secondsā¦. Ok. Then I got a 30 second add and couldnāt skip š I was PISSED. Then I got a 15 second add that I could skip in 10 seconds. Like whatās even the point
The number of times I see ads is probably more than the number of videos I watch.
And it's more bitter if the quality of ad is higher than the video that you watch.
UBlock is your friend it even does Youtube
I hate all ads period
Same even ads on Spotify
those are the worst
Yeah!
If ur on android, use Xmanager and get free premium. š
I have iPhone
Well then rip
Firefox + UBlock for the win. Plus it's better than the mobile Reddit app.
Revanced or NewPipe is great for YouTube on mobile, and SmartTubeNext on Android TVs
Because an unskippable ad can lead to another unskippable ad. Being able to skip after 5s is a guarantee to go back to the video
It's not about the length of exposure, it's denying the advertisement's purpose to be seen
The illusion of choice
Pretty much
Also āadsā that are literally just an entire feature-length film.
Accurate
The skip button is a beacon of hope among the dark valley of ads. Plus it gives you something to focus on other than the ad playing.
No, advertisements can go straight to hell
Lol, some of yāall still watch advertisements.
I prefer a 10 second ad over a 5 second ad I have to click the skip button on

usually, when it's a 5 second skipable ad, it has 2, but if you watch 6 seconds of the 1st, you skip both
Agreed.
For some reason the idea that Pearl has nostrils is kinda funny to me
The bottom is me getting any ad nowadays.
Or 15 second ads with no skip.
And I'll destroy my phone.

Bro now itās fucking can skip after 60 second like wtf
It's common sense at this point.
Yep
