I had an hour long ad show up a couple of weeks ago. It was basically a film on some health/food product, but I had never seen something so over the top like that before.

This needs to die in a fire. Like the parent comment said, I will sometimes allow ads to play through if I'm away from the remote expecting the actual content to continue after a 30 second interruption. When you suddenly have the "channel" changed on you from something like this it needs to stop. Hell, I can't even listen to a full album in YT without a "are you still here" after 4 or 5 tracks. That "are you still watching" should come up multiple times in the ad by itself. Maybe the popup should be "Are you still watching? Why?"
