Ad overload? YouTube and Instagram test unskippable ads
Are Instagram and YouTube on the verge of losing relevance?
According to a PRWeek poll on LinkedIn, 51% of the 525 respondents said that they would delete Instagram if the plan to introduce unskippable ads is solidified. What’s more, only 7% of respondents voted saying that they would pay to make the ads go away while 41% would persevere through the unwanted changes.
A spokesperson from Meta stated that as we test and learn, we will provide updates should this test result in any formal product changes’. Yet, some users have already taken to Reddit and X to vent their frustrations over the potential permanence of this feature.
