Maybe I'll disable AdBlock if you get rid of unskippable ads. What's that, you're not gonna? Then I'm not gonna.
The worst thing is ads every two or three minutes in some videos. Not even TV is like this. No thanks.
Skippable ads don’t bring in enough revenue to cover infrastructure costs
Then they should have less ads and charge more for them.
I assume neither of us are in the ad business so we can't say for sure but, if they could charge more for skippable ads, I'd bet they would have already
I was in the ad business for a about 5 years. They'll pay more. The better the data, the more the pay. If you're offering exclusive ads that your demographic will see, you'll pay.
Okay but would that not require more user and data tracking that Google is already being criticized for?
