I've had a few videos on Facebook recently begin playing, and then 10sec in start to play an ad.

I have since stopped watching FB videos.

Imagine all the A/B/C/D/E/F/G testing going on at Facebook. I imagine that they fine tune a lot of things just for you.

Ad breaks are up to the video poster.

Same. Ad starts playing? Skip to whatever is next in the feed. Ad at the start of a video, not even going to wait. As it is, after turning off all notifications from FB I maybe open the app once a week.
