These ads are completely ridiculous. Today, I fast-forwarded through a creators sponsored advertisement to be presented with a 45 second unskippable ad. Thereafter, the YouTube video resumed (at the wrong spot as usual) for 4 seconds, at which point I was given another 15 second unskippable ad. This is 100% a Roku problem. I can watch on my phone or PC (or even an old PS3) with normal, mostly skippable ads at acceptable intervals as per Googles standards on YouTube advertisements. I understand that Roku is in the business of making advertisement money, but get it out of my YouTube videos and put them in your own Roku app. These practices are borderline predatory and should be ended immediately.
Redlummada I guess you haven't watched cable/satellite TV in a while. Commercials lasting 1 to 3 minutes has been pretty common for years. It is not a surprise that YT and others are starting to do the same thing, especially with the competitive market in streaming/broadcasting/advertising, the mergers of companies trying to survive and, in some cases, going out of business.
