Left Our Engie For About 30 Seconds And Returned To Sentry Gibs And Sappers Scattered On The Ground

love the art on these guys so much it makes me want to get back into magic

the weird schrödinger's emotion that is "that character death was narratively satisfying and emotionally impactful and ultimately the best way to handle their character arc" simultaneously with "noooo but I wanted them to live :( :( :("

Mem.

So what exactly is the deal with super long ads on YouTube? Like, the five minute ones with the skip button after 5 seconds? Why does anyone make those? Who does that benefit?

Obviously, they’re super annoying like any capitalist bullshit, but I don’t even get the point of making them. Like, there are only two outcomes when one of these ads comes on

1. I skip it so fast I don’t even learn what it was advertising

2. I’m doing something and can’t get to my phone so I can’t skip it immediately, forcing me to listen to the ad until I get so annoyed by it that I stop what I was doing to skip it

Is the latter outcome the whole point? Are these just predatory ads aimed at catching people that can’t skip them? If so, not only is that scummy as fuck but I still don’t get it from a business perspective; how does that help sell anything? I’m no businessman (thank god) but aren’t you just associating a negative experience with your product? Like okay thanks for completely wasting my time and being genuinely impractical, I can’t wait to associate my mild annoyance with your product.

I know I’m not immune to propaganda or whatever and maybe I’m just underestimating the effect advertising has on me but I just don’t understand why long but skippable ads are a thing. Genuinely, if you know why they exist then please tell me cause I am truly baffled
