Youtube seems to be in lots of hot water lately. From the so called adpocalypse and everything surrounding it, to their worst idea ever –the heroes program, to the apparent censorship going on with dissenting ideas.
But over the weekend I noticed a new fresh feature that I welcome with open arms.
Youtube finally introduced a way to give feedback on pre-roll ads. The method is simple and it follows the existing format already available on Youtube for regular videos. A simple thumbs up and thumbs down.
Sometimes, on some videos, you’ll notice thumbs up and thumbs down buttons that show up during the pre-roll ads. Hopefully, this helps viewers get a better experience by eliminating those annoying AF ads that play every single time for weeks at a time.
Ever since this was implemented, I’ve been voting on commercials every chance I get and I can see some results already. It seems that I see less of the commercials I’m sick of already and new ones are showing up more regularly.
