      I really hate how movie trailers, which was a big deal at one point, are all just, short and “Watch the full thing on Youtube”.

      I mean, all “its dumb to want to watch ads” aside, I am here to actively watch your ads people.

        Also, YouTube typically puts up preroll ads on trailers - you literally have to watch an ad before you’re allowed to watch the ad

      google trying to manufacture peer pressure for watching ads so some people will buy the featured products and/or services, so more advertisers are interested in buying ad space from google

        I dont think it was slop, it was companies advertising slop-producing products, no?

        i feel theres a difference…

        havent actually seen the ads btw, just heard about what they were about.
