5 seconds? Just skip that as well.
Inaccurate title. Article title is Vienam.
Still nam.
5 second ad every 10 seconds
And the population of Vietnam grew 3(0) sizes that day.
Curious how big-tech platforms, actively moderating every user action on their platform (for advertiser-friendliness), while often involved with codeveloping the world's leading AI models, are somehow unable to moderate advertisement content. Certainly no conflict of interest there...
I do wonder what downstream consequences this might entail: if YouTube starts baking advertisements right into videos, would they still classify as advertisements? And what would this in turn mean for content-creators' sponsored content (often constituting a significant portion of their income)?
As much as I passionately hate advertisements (leading me to mercilessly block every single one of them), I rather have platforms using advertisements for monetization, than doubling down on selling user-data.
