No idea of course. I couldn't tell you any anything in ALL cases.
But the ad space is dominated by a few companies and all do that as far as I know.
The other dominating ad space is spliced into videos and they certainly know you will skip around if you can on YouTube.

It won't be made that's what adblockers do. Or it won't land in the case of pihole/DNS level blockers.
Otherwise it wouldn't speed up browsing and tracking would continue unhindered.
- ElectricalUnion 3y agoThere's some adblockers focused on disrupting tracking and those will both intentionally load ads and automatically click on every one of them for you. https://adnauseam.io/ https://adnauseam.io/
- psychphysic 3y agoNeat idea, I'd worry that the tracking is worse than the benefit. That said I routinely let long YouTube ads play while I go off to do something else. Personal best was circa 1.5hour ad! Someone told me that costs them big bucks so long as it's not skipped.
