Comment on Advertisers scramble as ‘non-human traffic’ eats up online budgetsparent

Comments

I will never understand the YouTube ads that show 3-4 seconds of black screen and then "allow" (not sure what controls this) the "skip this ad" after 5 seconds.

You (the advertiser) have to capture my interest in the first 10-20 frames of video, and pitch me in 5 seconds. Anything else is a waste of your money.

And YouTube only has one chance as well. He fact I'm seeing this annoying video ad means I have already installed Ad block edge and haven't reloaded the page.

Your move.
