Why are these Ads so Skippable?
- Nobody likes ads, whether it’s before your favorite show or movie, on benches and buses when you're walking down the street, or multiple times during a 15-minute-long YouTube video. Most streaming platforms offer Ad-free versions of their apps for a price because people hate ads. But as the world changes, these prices rise, and more ads become unavoidable. The issue with most, if not all, modern advertisements is the fact that they are boring. And due to their consistent use of gimmicks, they all feel the same.
- You could ask many people what their favorite ad was, and they would choose something from the 2000s or 2010s. There may be some that have recent favorites, but in many cases, newer ads are only memorable because they are annoying and overused, or they use AI in some way. So, if we can’t avoid advertisements, then we might as well make them enjoyable and unique to watch.
