I watched a 28 minute long ad last weekend on my phone. Is there some place that shows stats on how many ads of various lengths are delivered and not skipped / how much was watched per length?

Why would you sit through a minute of unnecessary ads, let alone 28?

  several reasons for this one.. ad was on small screen (my phone) - and I was gaming on the big screen - so it was not interrupting me in any way. Also the "I'm a digital marketer, starting to learn ads for youtube, and curious how this is actually working, so watch it and learn what can be learned from.. youtube platform, how it's visual / audio / etc is working.." had me willing to suffer more than 60 seconds.. And.. strangely it was on a topic that I studied ~18 years ago - with someone making claims I was ready to pounce on, but then became surprised that this speaker / presenter had taken over this program from the original creators - and I was super curious if any new insights would be published.. In the end I learned a little about the current state of the old program / group.. but more learned about the marketing buzz words used, the crescendos of the claims / benefits / social proofs.. of a 30 minute infomercial, and how the captioning / graphics could be presented on a vertical / tiny screen and be effective.. and of course I had to know the actual pitch and price at the end for the 'new online program thing' that has been adapted with the original stuff.. I still wonder how or IF youtube knew that I would or could be interested in the X program method or if it was just targeted towards whatever demographics the system thinks about my mini-device. Also thought whoa - what kind of crap is this YT - a 30 min ad?! How, what? Why! Is this real?! (I had seen a 2 hour ad on YT on the PS3 some years ago, that was trippy) So yeah I wonder if there are stats showing how many ads longer than 30 sec are attempted via YT and how many are watched.

    To be clear, was this a normal YouTube video that was advertising something, or an actual YouTube official “You can skip this in 4…” ad? It sounds like the former

      no it was actual 30 minute ad - it had the tap here to skip after so many seconds and everything. Now I'm going to check if I have a screenshot from that day - and wonder how to share here, is imgur still a thing or is that the one that was talking of shutdown.. checking.
