To that which it may concern:
'sup. I've been hanging around here for a while. Watching videos, reading articles. You know, that kind of thing. And I complain sometimes. It's a thing I do. If something seems like a questionable idea, I will point that out.
So, about those new ads in front of the videos. You know the ones. The ones that give the viewer the option of either waiting or tying something, in, on the grounds that this improves retention of ad concent among viewers.
I don't like 'em. Yeah, I know. Someone on the internet doesn't like ads. YOu've just gone in to heart palpitations from lack of astonishment, I imagine. But seriously, I'm not going to type in to those. I will put the video on mute, and I will go do something else for a minute or two, then come back, drag the bar back to the beginning of the video, and watch the thing. I will never even find out what is being advertised. And that might actually be a good thing, because although there is a strong tendency for the ads around here to be for things I neither want nor need, I might make a point of avoiding any product advertised at me in such an obnoxious manner.
Now, I know there's a way to make it harder for me to avoid the ads. You could lock the volume control or something, I guess. And I could stop coming here. Seriously, that would be distressingly like going out of your way to piss off your audience, and that strikes me as a bad idea.
