    Sadly, I see this working quite well. Does Google get paid per how long the ad is shown? Guessing they get paid more for an ad that plays all the way without being skipped.

        That’s actually interesting if true… considering they still have to stream us video, Pay the bandwidth and all but don’t generate any revenue. Makes me almost want to Let the whole ad play but skip it at then last second so it only costs them money.
