    Skippable ads don’t bring in enough revenue to cover infrastructure costs

        I assume neither of us are in the ad business so we can’t say for sure but, if they could charge more for skippable ads, I’d bet they would have already

          I was in the ad business for a about 5 years. They’ll pay more. The better the data, the more the pay. If you’re offering exclusive ads that your demographic will see, you’ll pay.

            Okay but would that not require more user and data tracking that Google is already being criticized for?
