So What Exactly Is The Deal With Super Long Ads On YouTube? Like, The Five Minute Ones With The Skip
So what exactly is the deal with super long ads on YouTube? Like, the five minute ones with the skip button after 5 seconds? Why does anyone make those? Who does that benefit?
Obviously, they’re super annoying like any capitalist bullshit, but I don’t even get the point of making them. Like, there are only two outcomes when one of these ads comes on
1. I skip it so fast I don’t even learn what it was advertising
2. I’m doing something and can’t get to my phone so I can’t skip it immediately, forcing me to listen to the ad until I get so annoyed by it that I stop what I was doing to skip it
Is the latter outcome the whole point? Are these just predatory ads aimed at catching people that can’t skip them? If so, not only is that scummy as fuck but I still don’t get it from a business perspective; how does that help sell anything? I’m no businessman (thank god) but aren’t you just associating a negative experience with your product? Like okay thanks for completely wasting my time and being genuinely impractical, I can’t wait to associate my mild annoyance with your product.
I know I’m not immune to propaganda or whatever and maybe I’m just underestimating the effect advertising has on me but I just don’t understand why long but skippable ads are a thing. Genuinely, if you know why they exist then please tell me cause I am truly baffled

biggest reason i make so many flop posts on here is because everything i do reeks of the desperation to make a popular tumblr post. this is deliberate, because it is what protects me from ACTUALLY making a popular tumblr post. so long as i crave it, tumblr fame will never find me. it is only when i turn away, and accept my fate of obscurity, that people will lay their eyes upon me. and it WILL be because i tripped and fell on my stupid face while i was turning

That's actually true. Using a two-sample hypothesis test, a study by Numeroff & Bond (1985) found that mice given a cookie were significantly more likely to ask for milk than mice that were not given a cookie at α = 0.05 (p = 0.036667). Notably, however, the academic integrity of the authors has been called into question by other researchers.
Studies show that if you give a mouse a cookie, there's a high likelihood they'll ask for milk too
