    A prediction…

    YouTube: Show them this ad. Browser: Sure. OK they watched it. YouTube: Really? That was too fast. It was a three minute ad! Browser: Oh, right. Well they’ve definitely watched it now. YouTube: You sure? Browser: Totally.

      Something that youtube can do is open the ad on a background tab, muted and with width and lenght as minimum as possible. People don’t want to see that shit, but want the ad revenue, so I guess it’s a win/win situation?
