Kind of reminds me of what Michael Pachter once said about ads in one of his videos.
Eventually we will reach a point where videos will simply not play until a set amount of seconds will elapse and adblockers will result in users simply stare at a blackscreen for set amount of seconds.
Yeah, I'd rather have 90 seconds of silence than be blasted by ads for any amount of time. I generally tolerate in-video ad reads (though if I'm actively watching, I'll skip past them) but I have zero patience for any other kind.
The good content creators even make their ad reads entertaining. Count Dankula and Internet Historian have convinced me to check out several products on account of being funny about the ad reads (or, rather, the sponsors allowing them to be funny about the ad reads made me willing to check out their products).
