Getting to the point where it’s just not worth using YouTube. It’s good for me because I had stopped reading somehow; I used to read loads.
Eight ads in five minute video and I think fuck that.
I’m not going to join the subscription economy either: Every film/video producer wants a tenner a month for only their content. No-one has a majority. That’s far far more than I was paying before by going to the cinema, even with the £20 popcorn!
The old metric used by free-to-air networks was advertising minutes per broadcast hour. When I stopped watching FTA about a decade ago that number was about 12 or 13. Youtube’s must be 40+. I’m not brave enough to rawdog 60 minutes of YT and test it (and of course it wouldn’t be uniform number anyway)
Which country are you thinking of?
The US FtA adv ratio meant I didn’t watch any TV when I crossed the pond. There just wasn’t any point because for every 10 minutes of content, I have forgotten or lost interest what was happening during the following 5 minutes of ads that follows.
The UK BBC doesn’t have ads within programmes, but now you get to watch a (yet to be outed) Woke paedophile presenting, I’m told. And I grew up here in the 70s.
Anglophone country but I would rather not specify.
Yes the BBC has its own legacy wierdness - and sadly a track record of protecting predators in order to protect itself
Nice. Such a great feature. Watching video is just boring, it’s so much more relaxing and enjoyable de watch ads constantly. I actually stopped watching movies and videos, I’m always on the lookout for a good ad. They should make an app where it’s only ads, actually they should charge for that too, subsription for having the opportunity to watch ads all day. AI will save us all.
offering advertisers versatile options to craft compelling campaigns.
“Compelling” 🤣
Compelling in the sense of forceful not in the sense of persuasive.
