parabola_master 10/06/20 2:00:34 AM #1:	So I get an ad, and a button shows up that says skip ads in 5... 4... 3... I normally click on the button to get past the ad. But today I liked the ad I was seeing, so I let it play. When it finished it showed me a SECOND ad, and I had to wait again for the counter to click the skip ads button But had I NOT watched the ad, I would have been back to my video. So wtf? --- Godel, Escher, Bach <cite>parabola_master posted [p:945510721] in Why does Y... [t:79022713]...</cite> <quote>So I get an ad, and a button shows up that says skip ads in 5... 4... 3...

You guys stop arguing I just want to know the game theory / economic reasoning behind REWARDING people who skip ads versus those who would willingly watch them Someone who actually watches an ad is more likely to watch other adds. It's not a reward/punishment system, at least not for you. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:945511136] in Why does Y...
