Earlier, users complained about the appearance of such commercials, the duration of which varied from several minutes to almost three hours. However, the YouTube communications manager Oluwa Falodun said that “YouTube does not place commercials lasting several minutes without the possibility of passing them.” Falodun referred to the company’s official policy, reports The Verge, according to which advertising that cannot be stopped is usually limited by 15 seconds, and in some cases can last up to 30 or 60 seconds within the Youtube TV. However, an increase in the time of the show does not apply to ordinary ads.

Nevertheless, on Reddit, users continue to report very long commercials, the viewing of which can be reset. One of them last week announced watch advertising without the possibility of passing, and the other previously published a photograph that indicates the duration of advertising at almost three hours. It is noteworthy that the image was included in the image, which caused the assumption that YouTube intentionally punishes users trying to avoid watching ads.

YouTube, in turn, remind you that the use of advertising blockers violates the conditions of the service, and Falodun emphasizes the importance of advertising for content creators and clarifies that when such programs are detected, users receive numerous notifications with a request to resolve or issue a subscription to YouTube Premium, where There is no advertisement. In some cases, the platform can completely turn off the possibility of watching a video, but this only happens if the user regularly ignores notifications.

According to The Verge, locksmen can really cause a problem in this situation. One of the users Reddit noticed that its locker not only does not block advertising, but can also hide the pass button. In this case, only the update of the page helps to solve the problem.
