We recently brought information, that some YouTube users are seeing significantly more ads recently than before. Now, thankfully, it has emerged that this increase was only part of a test that has now ended.
In recent days, some YouTube users have openly expressed their displeasure with the sudden increase in unskippable ads on the platform, from 5 to 10. Before, it was usually just two ads in a row. YouTube calls this ad format bumper ads, and one such ad, according to him, lasts a maximum of 6 seconds. However, if there are ten of them in such a block, it can be up to a minute (for many) of lost time.

However, these and other users can rest easy now that YouTube has released a representative for the site 9to5Google statement, saying the increase in ads was "part of a small test" it ran for users watching long videos on TVs, which has now ended. So everything returns to normal.

However, the truth is that there are generally more ads on YouTube today than in the past. Even in a not-so-long video, several of them can appear, which can disrupt the viewing experience. The only way to get rid of them is to pay for a YouTube Premium subscription, which costs CZK 179 per month.
The only thing I deal with is the premium? Are you really sure about that statement??
