I think this might be an effective response to AdBlock. It seems like death by 1000 cuts.
If ad blockers don't work on YouTube, then the average person won't bother to use them (because they won't be bothered to configure them). Videos are everywhere, and networks have improved to the point where you can reliably stream them from a mobile device. Is this the beginning of video ads plastered all over the web? Or is this just going to make YouTube more annoying?
- nostromo 12y agoI think this is unrelated to AdBlock. It seems to be only about how many users click the "skip" button on YouTube ads.
- AdamTReineke 12y agoI can't believe they weren't already reporting that. If I was an advertiser, I'd want to know how many people were skipping my ad and their demographics so I could stop targeting that segment -- or change my ads to reach that group better.
