The worst part of YouTube ads is super long ads (sometimes even multiple hours long). It has happened to me multiple times. And coincidentally it always happens when I’m feeling sleepy.
Seems like a way to check for attention. Not clicking the skip indicates you’re not actually watching. The benefit to them is probably more ad revenue.

In other words, taking advantage of their own users!
And advertising customers. Great company all around.
I think back in 2015, there was the Tai Lopez ads that were also very long.
I don’t have a screenshot nor do I remember what ad was it, but I have seen an ad that was more than 2 hours long.
