    I mean maybe like a year ago, for a short time, Amazon suddenly had multiple 4 minute ads in a video. It was unwatchable so I just dropped the platform entirely. I was in the middle of watching Vox Machina. When I came back a few months later, even though the ads were gone, the damage was already done. I forgot what was going on and lost interest in the show.

      Sure, that’s fair, but 1) you’re just one user out of many thousands, and 2) stuff like “multiple 4 minute ads in a video” is usually rolled out through A/B testing, so many users probably never saw it.
