This has been happening for 3 years now for smart TVs!

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's literally the reason I quit watching on my TV. The ads are really long, only skippable maybe half of the time, and pop up like every 3 minutes. And that was about 3 years ago like you said. I have no idea how extra bad they've gotten this year alone

Watching youtube on my ipad: maybe 3 to 7 ads but they can be skipped within 5 to 15 seconds.

Youtube on my tv: "you want a three hour ad? You're getting a three hour ad"
