I watched a Warframe (game) YouTube video on the Steam integrated browser, without beeing connected to my account and Holly s* it was horrible.

In a 14 minutes video, I got 5 ads. 1 (or more skippable once) at the beginning, 1 during the first half of the video, 2 during the second half, and 1 at the end.

All were skippable after 5 sec.

2 were close together at about 1 min interval during the second half of the video.

But that is not the only issue. 4 of those ads (not the last one at the end), were Israeli hate/war anti-hamas propaganda.

I consider these ads horrible and they should not be allowed in my opinion.

    The time and set duration for their ads is based on viewer habits, so they are basically banking that you are too lazy to skip it or are out of the room and they can still claim they ran the whole ad.

      Recently in a 5 minute video an ad came up that showed it was an hour and 10 minutes long. There is no good reason for that garbage
