YouTube viewers are encountering extremely long unskippable ads, with durations reaching up to an hour. The cause may be linked to ad blockers. This issue has raised significant frustration and calls for an explanation from the platform.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The imposition of hour-long unskippable ads on YouTube disrupts the user experience significantly. From a technological perspective, this might be a countermeasure against ad blockers, but such an extreme approach could alienate users and negatively impact user retention. It’s essential to balance ad revenue strategies with user experience to maintain platform loyalty.
