Blog:"Video will play after ad"

30-second Unskippable YouTube Ads are a series of ads that are each 30 seconds long and cannot be skipped. They are infamous for showing painful ads that can get extremely annoying.

Examples

 * The first ad that can be seen is an animal dance montage, where the animals either cuddle each other or do sunts while a music score plays in the background.
 * The second one that can appear is the Moist Beef Jerky ad, involving two guys in a truck giving away beef jerky to other two men who have fainted.
 * The third ones are political attack ads, which are often about defaming politicans such as Joe Biden and/or Donald Trump.
 * The fourth and most coming ads that can appear is the three cigarette videos, in which there are three different versions:
 * The first one involves a person buying a pack of cigarettes/menthols with insufficient funds, so they peel off their skin/pull out their teeth to gain it.
 * The second one involves a cigarette bullying kids by either making them go outside, pay money, or pause movies.
 * The third one involves a teenage girl explaining how she had issues with the bully cigarette and how he both follows and abuses her.
 * There was a fifth and very disturbing ad called "Raise Pigs Right | Experience life on a factory farm" It contained sounds of screaming pigs and flashing pictures of DEAD ANIMALS!  It was so disturbing that warnings were posted all over Youtube, Twitter, and Tumblr.

Why They Suck

 * 1) They last for 30 seconds and they can't be skipped (hence their name).
 * 2) Prior to YouTube giving the option to skip 30-second ads, there was no way to skip them unless you paid for YouTube or used an ad blocker.
 * 3) Not only are they painful to watch, but they are also tedious (mentioned in WTS #1) and can get really annoying.
 * 4) *While the animal montage is a cute video and the least problematic, it can get tiresome seeing the same sequence over and over again.
 * 5) *The Moist Beef Jerky ad can get very repetitive hearing them repeat "Moist" so many times.
 * 6) *The Raise Pigs Right | Experience life on a factory farm is a very disturbing ad that can give nightmares to the people who watch it.
 * 7) *The political attack ad (while the most bearable) can also get annoying hearing the same line continuously.
 * 8) *The cigarette ads are easily the worst offenders.
 * 9) **In the case with the first one, the person ordering a cigarette  literally peels their skin or teeth , and its just painful to watch.
 * 10) **For the second one, its bad enough seeing a cigarette bullying kids to go outside or etc., but making matters worse is that it cannot be skipped.
 * 11) **While the third one is the most tolerable of the three cigarette ads, it's just a teenager girl explaining how she got bullied by the cigarette, and it gets repetitive to hear her say the same lines over and over.
 * 12) Depending on the video and/or its length, you can have several 30-second unskippable ads, ranging from two to five of them.
 * 13) It gets even worse, now that there are double ads, so if your unlucky to have two 30-second unskippable ads, you'll have to wait a whole minute for YouTube to play a video again.
 * 14) Crunchyroll Ads are, with out a dought, the WORST when it comes to them, as in, not only do you get an ad before that video starts, but the after the intro, you get not one, not two, but FIVE TO SIX adds in one video, equaling a whopping total of 2 MINUTES just to play a SINGLE video.
 * 15) Earlier this year, there was the infamous 5317-second long unskippable ad, no joke, which is about an hour and a half It was a DC movie. Movies via ads aren't a good way to watch, as you can't skip ahead nor go back.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Thankfully, because of the negative backlash, YouTube has decided to make the 30-second ads skippable.
 * 2) At least they were made so that the companies responsible for the ads could get funded.

Trivia

 * There is an easier way of "skipping" these ads. You just have to press/click the 'i' button (the Report Ad button) and come up with a reason (although most people go for either 'Irrelevant' or 'Repetitive.'). However, it does not work on all ads.
 * These types of ads are more common in console and TV ports of YouTube.
