The company's 'bumper ads' bombard users with numerous unskippable ads in quick succession.
. Admittedly, the issue has had an impact on a limited number of users, but the trend itself is concerning.
Apparently, the phenomenon is due to YouTube’s new “bumper ads”. The particular ad type can expose the viewer to numerous ads in quick succession, without a “skip” option. Thiswas given by the TeamYoutTube Twitter account. The only saving grace is that the ads tend to be below 6 seconds long. Nevertheless, a simple round of arithmetics can give you an estimate of 60 seconds of unskippable ad time. Just how unreasonable this figure is, largely depends on what type of content you are watching.
At any rate, YouTube is already treading on thin ice. There is only so many ads viewers can stomach, before deciding that watching the video in the first place is simply not worth it. Of course, impatient users always have the option to subscribe to YouTube Premier. But, at this point, the ad policy seems tilted towards the prospect of rendering mundane Youtube unwatchable.Get the most important news, reviews and deals in mobile tech delivered straight to your inbox
