Comment on Redirect to prevent back button

Aren’t they scamming their advertisers too? Because if you click the back button a bunch of times it’s gonna reload a bunch of them on every click. At least if your internet is fast enough.

Impressions are usually deduped - Multiple impressions from the same user during the same session are just counted as one.

  I just realized you meant data deduplication instead of “not duped by you bitches anymore”

  Does it also cover reloading with different ads? (such that it would count impressions for different advertisers)

    Usually the ad needs to be in your viewport for at least a few seconds to count as an impression. If you were just going back quickly, or quickly refreshing the page, it won’t count.
    
    For skippable ads on YouTube, the advertiser only pays if you watch past the point where you can skip it. If I remember correctly, you have to watch at least 30 seconds of the video (or the full video if it’s less than 30 seconds) for it to count as a view.
