If you don’t pay for the subscription YouTube Premium, you are probably getting a lot of advertisements on the largest video platform. It usually appears before the video and then also during its viewing. Either way, it’s a maximum of one or two points and you can skip second place after the 5 second limit has passed. It’s probably over now. But don’t get excited, it will get worse.
Several users shared on Twitter and on income your experience with a new five ad format you can’t skip. Basically it looks like an ad appears before the video, and at the top right you have the duration to the end and now the total number of ads as well. And the exception shouldn’t even be 5 points in a row.

It didn’t take long for YouTube itself to respond. According to him, this is a new type of so-called bumper ads, which the user cannot really skip, in any case, each commercial should be 6 seconds or less long. So it’s like watching the entire 30 second commercial without skipping.
Users are understandably outraged, this is very unfortunate news. On the other hand, YouTube wants to attract new members to its Premium membership, where you can enjoy uninterrupted viewing. And if we want to use common sense, you are also interrupted by commercials while watching TV and they are definitely longer than 30 seconds.
