My favorite experience in this regard was watching YouTube on xbox (i know, i know)… They played a 40 minute redbull “ad” on a five minute video. In what sane world should ads be 8 fucking times longer than the content?!?!1?

Why would they even make a 40 min long ad for Redbull?

It was just a documentary that was shoved into an ad space. Something about their aerial stunts/races. Dunno. I got like, five seconds into it because FUCK THAT SHIT.

I never use youtube anymore.
Laying in bed bored = netflix Up and motivated = steam or work News = Reddthat Tutorials = text-based articles, no unindexed untranscribed videos that start with the words “hey guys welcome back”

I had a similar experience on my YouTube TV app, I was watching old history channels in bed, and there was a full length documentary for an “ad”. I could have skipped after 15 seconds or whatever, but I had to INTERACT with the TV before it would resume. I was distracted so it ended up playing like 15 minutes of an hour+ documentary ad.
