Most episodes of "hour-long" shows from ten to twenty years ago are 42 minutes long. That's because US television had standardized on 18 minutes of ads per hour. I don't think YouTube is quite there yet.
- olyjohn 4y agoMaybe not the duration due to the "skip" button, but YouTube seems to interrupt way more frequently, and you watch the same ad way more often than you would on TV. And the interruptions are just right in the middle of a sentence.
- bradlys 4y agoThis definitely has some nostalgia from the good ol’ days going on or something… It was not uncommon to see the same ad in a single hour of content. I’d see the exact same ads for years when watching tv. Did you forget when shows would stop running late at night and it’d be a 4 hour straight advertisement?
