I don't mind the ads but I hate the delay to dismiss. I actually enjoy watching relevant or non traditional ads, seen some great ones lately from other YouTube channels advertising. But my ability to decide if an ad is relevant is way faster than 5 seconds. It wastes everyone's time and money by making me wait longer.
- nothrabannosir 10y agoIt doesn't waste your time; it uses it to force you to watch that ad. That's worth money! The ads on YouTube are not there for you.
- rajacombinator 10y agoBad way to think about it. If there's no possibility of conversion it's a waste for both. Ads should align interests between advertisers and viewers.
