MikeIsaacjbenton I dunno... I feel.... ok about this? I mean, isn't it akin to not allowing audio to unmute on a page with no user initiation, or blocking pop-ups as it is a core experience? I'd argue that anyone who is doing this should be doing preroll/postroll/auto-next-video-playlist.
MikeIsaacjbenton There's a particular irony in the 31 sec mark, considering Google is now doing two 15sec preroll ads on YouTube, for sure, but like... if this impacts you, then why not post-roll?
I dunno. I'm always on about monopolistic behavior, but this seems fine to me?
MikeIsaacjbenton (Also, as someone who has tried to sell 6sec any-roll... I'm not sure this is such a huge marketplace... sadly. I wish it was, b/c I think there is value there! But reality is most advertisers aren't interested.)
