Annoying video ads... (🇮🇩)

Yes... Ads...... Every time I do certain online things (such as watching YouTube videos, visiting some websites, playing online games, etc.), those random ads always appears. For example, a (or few) random item(s) being listed at an online shop, popular apps, some sort of online jobs, and so on. But, I'm not gonna explain about those basic ones like the ones that are just texts, pictures or simple animations, so I'm gonna explain about those annoying video ads that always appears in majority of the online stuffs that I ever seen so far from the past until today... I did encounter every single of the random video ads in almost any sites, apps or games that I ever played from then until now, but I did spot few of them that are (or were) so annoying, because it always appears so often, yet I can't fix it by personalizing the ads as well. Without further ado, here are lists about video ads ranging from the average ones, till to the most annoying ones that I encountered.

I'll divide into 3 different categories for this topic, one which is for YouTube, the other one is for the ones that usually appears in any of my modern video games that I installed on my devices, and the rest are for the other sites that has any of those.

A. YouTube

Of course YouTube do have a lot of video ads that always appears at almost any of the monetized videos in every single of them that I watched since from a long time ago, unless I'm using an ad blocker to prevent it... Anyway, here are my lists of those video ads that commonly appears on YouTube, divided into 3 levels about how I react to them:

a. Average

Example of a random video ad that I watched on YouTube, yet I categorized as the average ones... Just a video ad of that Panasonic mini-split air conditioner, which was so relatable to my main YouTube channel that made me felt pity to skip it anyway...

Only encountered few of them so far, which are just some video ads that is related to my main YouTube channel that made me didn't skip them due to they're so relatable to both of my YouTube channels that I own (such as air conditioner ads, HVLS ceiling fan ad, etc.). Moreover, I did encounter them during I didn't sign in on either one of my Google accounts... Or did I (from what I remembered).

b. Annoying

There are plenty of the video ads that I encountered them on YouTube that I categorized them as the annoying one. Here are my examples of them:

• Video ads of popular mobile games that are skippable (such as Rise of Kingdoms, Lords Mobile, Genshin Impact, Ragnarok, etc.). These are the most common video ads that appears randomly every time while I'm watching any videos on YouTube,

• Video ads of cheap mobile games that are also skippable (such as Playrix games [Homescapes, Gardenscapes, etc.], and some unrecognizable ones too),

• Certain video ads of popular apps on Google Play that are skippable (e.g.: popular online shops, trading apps [which my country's government just sued most of them though], and other usual apps that are also popular nowadays), 

• Certain long video ads that are skippable (for example, a short movie ad that has 2 minutes of video length).

c. Very Annoying

Well, here is my most annoying one that I found them on YouTube. So, here is my dreadful list of those video ads that I hate the most on YouTube:

• 5-second ads that ALWAYS appears way too often. Majority of them that appears are the ones that are based on those popular apps on Google Play (TikTok and SnackVideo are the ones that are appears way too often, as of today), followed by certain super apps that also popular in my country too...

• Some video ads that I obviously CAN'T skip, yet they're based on the ones that commonly appears on TV's commercial breaks. Usually comes with either 15 second video ad durations or their shortest one, 5 second ones. While I visit on any following video ads that randomly appear, it directly opens to certain things, such as the following items that they sell on online shops exactly like what they advertised, or other things like some sort of giveaway (but it's rarely seen).

B. Modern Video Games

Any of my modern video games that I ever installed and played, either on both my phone (most commonly) or even my laptop (which is barely seen any, because I never encountered any of them on it), I also encountered bunch of video ads as well... Just like what I mentioned on YouTube earlier, here are my lists of those video ads that commonly appears on my modern video games that I installed them on my devices, divided into 3 levels about how I react to them:

a. Average

Unlike YouTube, there are (or were) none of them... Simple as that.

b. Annoying

I did encounter bunch of annoying video ads on the mobile games. For example, majority of video ads like what they advertised on YouTube, except they associated them with Facebook. There are some other interactive type video ads that being associated by certain third-party domains as well (such as Iron Source or Vungle Privacy). Well, at least I can close them due to all of those video ads do have their own close button for at least 5 seconds after those ads appeared, although at most cases, I always tap the ad itself instead of closing it right away which is annoying! (sigh)

c. Very Annoying

Oh, lord... Of course there are some video ad variants that are so ANNOYING as heck! Just like YouTube with all of those video ads of the same level of very annoying they are; those makes me want to force close the whole YouTube app in order to get rid of them! For example, there is one variant of a video ad that I completely CAN'T close. No matter how it suddenly pops up like that on my phone's screen, there's absolute NO way to close it after 5 seconds or anything like that... Just like those ads on YouTube that I absolutely CAN'T skip (or I must deal with them anyway), I have to force close the whole game, then I re-open it again... Or, if I can play the game without this variant of the video ad, I just simply disable any internet connections, either from Wi-Fi or data connection.

That also counts for certain video ads that also appears (even though I can close them after at least 5 seconds at most cases), but it ended up just crash the whole game by itself! F***! It was commonly occurred on my previous Android devices that I used to own, yet also happens but lesser occurrence in my current Android smartphone that I have right now.

C. Other sites

For the other sites, I also encountered some of the annoying video ads that also appears in anywhere else. For example, if I didn't have the ad blocker on my browser during I opened the Fandom, there are few of video ads that caused me surprised by all of the sudden... During I explored through them, I suddenly heard a music or voices from those particular video ads that annoyed me at random times. There were no way to get rid of any of them though, apart from the ad blocker to prevent it to happen... For any of the random sites besides YouTube and those popular social medias, it's quite rare to encounter those annoying ads at almost any sites, so it's pretty average to encounter any of those though. Although there are few certain sites that I must disable the ad blocker on my browser for certain reasons, that doesn't affect about this anyway since I barely seen any of those annoying video ads anyway.

So, in conclusion... There are plenty of annoying video ads that appears in almost every single website that I visited them since from a long time ago. Ranging from not-so-bad ones which are passable, until to the most annoying ones that makes (or made) me feel so cringe against them. Again, there's no way to prevent any of the ads that appears in almost any websites (including YouTube), because that's how every single of the advertisers wants to do that for obvious marketing reasons per each of the websites. I mean, simple ads like just texts, pictures, or even simple animations are fine, but the video ads are the ones that I have to totally deal against, especially for the most annoying ones that I can't (or couldn't) even skip or close with ease, no matter what kind of those video ads are... IMO, majority of them are occurred on my mobile devices, so that's why there are many of those video ads that appears quite a lot compared to the simple ones. For the other platforms like for my laptop(s), as long as the ad blocker extension is present in any of the browsers that I have, it's all fine, although I must disable it in most of the websites though for certain reasons... No matter how I like or hate them with a passion, those video ads are always appears very often until today (especially for the ones that I can't skip or close them immediately or after 5 seconds). Anyway, that's it for the post that explains about some annoying video ads that appears in every single of the websites that I ever visited from a long time ago until today, and hopefully you can pay attention about this post by the way, if you can deal or get rid any of those though.
