Short...I remember getting several 15 to 30 minute ads on 5 minute videos. At lest they were skipable.

To be fair, the ads themselves were interesting, I just didn't have time to watch all of them.

Oh, they try to get away with some shit. Just gotta be ready for it. They get me occasionally when I'm elbow deep in dishwater. I'm pretty sure they model people who are asleep or afk and hit them with the worst ads
