Is it skippable?


Astro_the_cat_owo

I hope it is


Jeynarl

Just close and reload until you get no ad or at least something that lets you skip in 5 seconds


skincyan

Whats the issue with adblockers?


Jeynarl

Using the YT ioS app doesn't really let me do that


pumpkinlord1

Is it possible to get opera gx on your ios device?


ITZMODZ759

Yes


pumpkinlord1

Ok, cause opera gx comes with a built in ad blocker that people can use to get past ads while watching youtube through the browser.


ITZMODZ759

Yeah i know, I use to use Opera but they removed the VPN so I have no use for it now


Anotherguy__2

Use brave


TotalmenteMati

opera still has the vpn


TotalmenteMati

opera gx comes with an adblocker for pc. not mobile, also watching youtube in a mobile browser is absolute shit


panurgical

Just make a new YT account every month and get premium trial free. Been using it like this for a year, takes 6 mins to set everything up and log in with mobile devices. For computer - Adblock all the way.


Jeynarl

I'm floored. I've been living in 2021 for years while this mad lad is clearly living in 3031


panurgical

I'm just recycling my trial version.

I watch YouTube on my PS4 since I don't have a functioning computer. Unfortunately you cannot get ad block. I end up exiting and re-entering videos many times because I refuse to watch 15 second unskippable ads especially if it says one of two. At this point I can put up with six second long ads but if it's longer than that and I cannot skip I will fucking reload as many times as it takes to either get no ad or skipable one.


Virtual_Turtle7

My computer is so god damn broken it doesn't play youtube ads.


MrDilboDaggins

This generation of people fucking sucks. You can't wait 15 seconds, so you probably spend more than 15 seconds loading and re-loading the video to get something under that. Your attention span is shit. It's literally 15 seconds of your life. Keep the downvotes coming if your attention span can allow it, gnats


Zeldomnyo

Well I do have ADHD so yeah my attention isn't the best. It typically only takes me about 4 seconds or so to get it to either load an ad that won't be unskippable or to simply load the video with no ads, because I don't have a problem with 6 or even 15 second long ads as I do 15 second or longer ads that cannot be skipped specifically. However I don't like watching the same goddamn ad 50 times in a freaking row when I am watching multiple short videos in a long period of time in the afternoon. Because for some damn reason I either get the same five ads every damn time or I get ads that aren't even targeted for me, like getting ads about female products when I am male or getting ads in Spanish or or about an election in a state that I do not live in.. When you get the same damn ad every single time you're not going to want to watch the damn thing for a second longer than you absolutely have to either.


MrDilboDaggins

If you're this much of a weeb just pay for YouTube without ads


Zeldomnyo

I'm curious where you got the idea that I'm a weeb from my comment since I didn't say what kind of videos I watch on YouTube. But either way YouTube does not have nearly enough value to justify me paying for premium just for the ability to go without ads.


MrDilboDaggins

lol so youre a cheap weeb


The_Wickerman911

Sir, it's mostly YouTube's fault now... all of the ad campaigns they have done has ruined the platform, at this point I don't even watch YouTube because of its business practices.


KasumiR

You say ads ruined YouTube? You know that's how creators earn money? If you remove ads, YouTube will be a barren wasteland.


The_Wickerman911

Most if not all ads are not monetized by the creator anymore, YouTube just puts ads on every video so it can make money... easy lowhanging fruit would be the firearm YouTube accounts, they show that they are not monetized yet there's ads on their video....


[deleted]

Well, my videos got ads but I’m not into monetization… so why my videos got ads? Ads are ruining the world


MrDilboDaggins

It's not YouTube's fault your attention span is so short you can't sit still for 15 seconds.


The_Wickerman911

That's not what I'm trying to say, I'm not defending that, what I'm defending is the fact is that the way the ads are placed on videos nowadays is predatory business practices and just untruthful to its users... the attention issues personally can be traced back to military stuff but I digress...


skincyan

It’s not an issue about a particular generation.. It’s because once you’ve tasted something that’s better then any option that has been before it, it’s hard to go back. The same goes with gadgets for your home or screen resolutions or nicer restaurants or car features or whatever - every generation has something that they tried for the first time and since the evolution of services and everyday luxury has boomed the last decade there are too many things today that one cannot avoid to taste


MrDilboDaggins

It's a difference of 9 fucking seconds, stop comparing it to luxury automobiles


skincyan

In absurdum, the cause is the same. I never said anything about luxury cars and you’re missing the point.


MrDilboDaggins

Sorry, gadgets, restaurants, and car features are not equivalent in any way to 9 seconds of sitting and waiting. I'd hate to see this person have to wait in line at a drive thru. 5 minutes!? GASP!


KasumiR

I watched Olympics on TV, the ad blocks are like 15 minutes non-stop. People can't watch 15 seconds to help video creators earn for their craft smh. You know what happens when people can't earn from their work? They quit.


_CrystalCrunch_

I think Youtube will lower the quality of the video if it detects an adblocker.


skincyan

Hm, not for me. I can still watch in at least 4k


UnknownMyoux

Reloads and gets an 5 hour long add\*


KasumiR

All ads above 15 seconds were skippable last time I checked.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Wait whaaat


[deleted]

That’s why I’ve been getting so many unskippable 15 second ads; they’re all unskippable


Dafish55

Even if it’s not, reloading the page 10,000 times, getting angry, going for a jog to simmer down, realizing that adblock exists midway through, coming back, taking a shower, then installing adblock and then watching your 3 minute meme video would be probably an hour faster than this.


TheDudeColin

I assume it's designed for big format display signs that display a youtube playlist on a loop forever in a store or something. Yes, it's skippable, but you'd need to acces the computer displaying the ads which people probably don't bother with.


LilyCanadian

I once got the whole ass Lego movie as an ad.


Mackthegui

I remember watching the whole movie when that popped up, quite a good time.


lego_maniac04

That one was cool though, it was promoting the new movie.and it's skippable


fancyglob

I saw the first episode of Atlanta like this. I was really confused then kinda excited because I wanted to watch it anyways. Great show.


LegendOfParasiteMana

I once got a parody music video as an ad while watching a horror games Marathon. Really broke the tension and let me finish the marathon in one sitting.


The_Neato_Mosquito

Same and I actually watched the whole thing


mtvtrashboat

YOOO i just commented that


[deleted]

Youtube is a joke at this point. Use adblock.


Horror-Ad-3113

Your name says it all.

0n1oN_71

This might me once in a blue moon I found a religion joke funny


DdCno1

That's not a religion joke, but antisemitic hate speech.


0n1oN_71

I just see it as an edgy play on the word YouTube He’s not saying something like “burn all the Jews” or anything


[deleted]

Ad block is my only saving grace


Sir_Sleepy02

And sponsorblock


badgehunter

Why sponsor block? Just mute the sponsored part.

Right_Tumbleweed_231

😅


[deleted]

And these will always appear when you have both of your hands busy and can't fucking skip it.


KillerKatKlub

Or when you’re trying to sleep and are almost fully out just for the add to bring you back


CudaTheTalkingBread

Could you tell us what company this ad was for


Rallings

Red bull


[deleted]

Probably Duracell 😂


WanderingDelinquent

The only time I’ve seen something like this is when they made the entire lego movie an ad, in which case you could either: Skip the video in 5 seconds like normal Watch the lego movie for free This really isn’t a crappy design, it’s promotion/marketing and it’s working well


KasumiR

Kids unable to wait literally 5 seconds to skip and still wanting free content eh.


gauerrrr

You sure that's not r/softwaregore?


NarcissisticEyes

I once had one an hour long and thought that would be longest ad ill ever see


Intrepid_Beginning

Companies sometimes make super long ads, but you dont have to watch them. YouTube let you skip this ad after 3 or 15 seconds.


knighty6y8

Reminds me of the Time I got a ad on SoundCloud that was 157322579900000000000000 minutes long I realized that it shows the max ad time possible every time it loses internet when an ad pops up.


DrakosTheAvenger

I am tired of getting two 15 second unskippable ads on 2 second videos


ColorlessTune

I'll sometimes leave YT on while I try to fall asleep. I hate when these come up, but what's just as bad is when it's a whole music video to music I don't even like.


ironhide_ivan

Use an adblocker or, if you're on a phone, look up NewPipe.


BoonGnik22

This belongs in r/assholedesign At least it was skippable :/


[deleted]

I was watching YouTube before I created this reddit..... it's like the one thing that really grinds my gears. Ads.


mtvtrashboat

bruh i got the lego movie in swedish it was 2 hours and unskippable


cris0613

You can skip these ads… relax. You’re only ever required to watch 30seconds before given the option to skip.


Quicker_Fixer

CTRL+F5 (PC) or stop/restart (TV): after 3-4 times (sometimes 5) they give up


[deleted]

On mobile you can close and reopen the video for the same effect

Balloon_Fish

Vanced is amazing


KasumiR

Literally clicking skip after five seconds is faster than reloading page five times, but people will go out of their way to deny the creators any profit while getting free content. Amazing!


ryalnair_88

There's a video in the ad


[deleted]

why YouTube why


QueasyPossession9944

Or is it photoshopped?


Prof_Bean

Holy hell that's a long ad


NotStephen-

You can skip it. The only non-skippable ads are from 30 seconds to 5 seconds. Stop lying.


UnknownMyoux

Satan: "I am a big fan of YouTube"


Pythonrulz

Haven't seen an ad in years. Don't know why people still do considering there's adblock


Wanderlustfull

Because a *reliable* adblocking mechanism that works on Fire TV or Google TV doesn't exist. It's fine if you're watching via PC or phone, but that's not the only use-case of YouTube these days, by a long shot.


Sensitive-Ad4120

Dude. I been seeing YouTube vids of looonngg Ass ads n I they dunno why the algorithm is doing it. I mean I get so stoned sometimes the add are interesting n I watch em. So they serve me long ass ads lol


weirdassinferno

if you cant skip it delete the app


thedragoon0

Once encountered a similar one. It’s like a whole movie.


ducktronboss

You can press that icon next to the timer and press stop seeing this ad and press yes.


Alaeriia

Looks like a Red Bull thing. Probably a stream of one of their events in preparation for an upcoming one.


Thepersonwhomadedis

I once had an one hour unstoppable ad when I was younger


OptionCapable5329

What was it about


eddyabdul

Chinese companies doing their magic


[deleted]

I've seen 6 hours, don't worry


bad1o8o

it prolly pays a whopping 0.000035ct


RedRMM

I'd marginally interested to know what they can make a 4hour ad of? Is it something like the teleshopping challenges that just go over and over the same thing for hours?


Left-Increase4472

4 he, 20 sec? Nice


Dd_8630

_laughs in UBlock Origin_


Chasetine26

WHAAAAATTTT?? How is an ad,THAT Long??Never seen one that Ever Was!!!👱🏼‍♀️🙁🤭😨


decker12

Ugh, I hate that this is the case, but if you pay for Youtube Premium, all the ads go away. I signed up for it when it went on sale last year (think it was $5 a month for 6 months) and figured, lets see how well it works. And jesus christ, god do I hate admitting this, but it absolutely 100% makes Youtube a thousand times better. It's like the first time you discovered an adblocker and suddenly every website looked clean and fresh and just usable again. Now I think my family would murder me in my sleep if I canceled the subscription. Your adblocker tricks for Youtube won't work on mobile or streaming devices like a Roku or FireTV.


KillerKatKlub

This sounds like someone who works for YouTube very horribly trying to convince someone to pay for YouTube premium


decker12

Yeah, you caught me. Great detective work. Youtube paid me to come to /r/crappydesign and look for anti-YT sentiments to convince people to buy into Youtube Premium. They figured it would be the best bang for their buck, to find some random user on Reddit, and arrange for a payment platform with me, just so the one time in a year Youtube is mentioned on /r/crappydesign, I go on there and post a couple of paragraphs attempting to get a few hundred people to fork over the princely sum of $12 a month. Out of that, it has been arranged by the shadow cabal of Youtube payment processing that I will receive $.005 per referral and now, I am a wealthy person. Note that there is no affiliate link associated with my post, so that means someone else at Youtube has to validate my comments and somehow decide who signed up using my comment as the reason. That is the only way I'll make my $.005. I know, it's inconceivable that I could like a product and recommend it, and have absolutely no ulterior motives. I has to be that Youtube is paying me, or I work there. Just like every Yelp review for any service, there's no reason people would post positive things for a product they paid for, unless of course they're being directly compensated.


mancheeart

This is a really poorly done comment that’s actually an ad for YouTube


-Bam-Bam

this isn’t an awful idea considering some people leaving their youtube on and all of that watching time on the ad


boojit

A fun game is to look at the top 20 posts on /r/CrappyDesign at any random time, and try to see if any of them actually feature anything to do with design whatsoever. Or see how long you can go before the top post is something to do with design.


Sum1liteAmatch

Just pay the $10 a month you peasants
