Complaints and a Recent Positive Experience

As for my complaints, there are those forced ads where the skip button appears after 5 seconds, but then after you press it, another skip button appears after waiting anywhere from 5 to a maximum of 15 seconds. I hated those, so I started closing the game entirely instead of skipping them. It seems the game publisher noticed because the frequency of those ads has noticeably decreased. In their place, a new type has emerged where pressing 'skip' once brings up another 'skip' button after 2 seconds, allowing for an immediate skip. Even 0-second ads have appeared. Now that I know I can get rid of ads with a single tap at any time, I've even felt curious enough to check out what the ads are about. I really think the ad providers themselves are part of the problem. There's no point to a 120-second ad unless it's talking about something else for that duration. But in reality, they're just collections of things like three 40-second ads, four 30-second ads, or twenty-four 5-second ads. I wish these types of ads would learn that no matter how appealing the content, they only generate a rejection response. However, it seems publishers are learning, as there's a trend towards trying to get away with 30-second ads for rewarded videos. I hope things continue to move in a positive direction.
