This is a huge problem in advertising. I don't know if there are any regulations in my country but this practice is rampant. It's unbelievably annoying and when you're watching something like a cricket match that plays all day with an ad break every 5 minutes, it can make you go insane. It's practices like these why I carry no qualms in using ad blockers or consuming pirated content. (Hey, I've already paid for a subscription, shouldn't matter where I watch it, right?). I for one, am absolutely outraged at content producers pushing down dark patterns and attempting to exploit me to the maximum every minute of our interaction.
