YouTube’s ad platform had a bug in it yesterday that looped the new Little Mermaid ad through most of the 4th quarter of an NBA playoff game, and I haven’t seen much from them about it.

Twitter was on fire about it, so I don’t think it was just me.

For me it was that coinbase ad.

Nobody mentioned the SmartTube Android TV app, which you can configure to skip sponsored content on top of ads.
