They don’t just continue to run ads, they run MULTIPLE ads in a row now. They run different ads until you tell them to stop!
I use an ad blocker.
i’ve never seen an ad on youtube thanks to my adblocker
Indeed, and sometimes it gets absolutely ridiculous. I was watching an 11 minute video the other day, and they had 8 ads run during it. One of them is a 43 FORTY THREE minute ad that they tried to run twice, and a 27 minute video they tried to run twice, and then four others of a sane length.
At least they do give you the option to skip the ads after five seconds. That will probably soon stop though, I bet.
I usually let the ones shorter than a minute run... I don't expect ot be entertained or informed 'free'.
The one that annoys me most is the five and a half minute video about some Chinese Circus type thing. For the last month or so they try to get me to watch that about ten times in a typical hour.
