YouTube ad roll is literally every 2 minutes, but only on their channels. Does anyone else experience this? (Mobile)
I watch a lot of long-form content on YouTube, and I'm used to ads popping up in videos. However, on Smosh's content its almost nonstop. 2 different 15-second ads that are unskippable means I'm constantly jumping out of the video to watch more ads.
If you reduce that ratio, its a 1:4 ad to video ratio.
This completely makes their videos arguably unwatchable.
Yet, there's a strange correlation. Smosh Pit, Games, and Mouth all have this problem of relentless ads. But my other channels that are very family-friendly and contain ads have maybe 4 ads per hour.
I would love to know if anyone else experiences this, or if anyone at Smosh can offer insight into this. I'm at the point of walking away from Smosh, because I'm basically watching ads for an hour to watch a minute of Smosh content.
