[nwienert]

I lived in Spain for a summer and my roommates there were definitively non-techy and had relatively slow internet.

I watched them every single night often multiple times accidentally click the ads that load above on youtube (about 1 second delayed, perfectly as they went to click). They would of course always click back once they noticed it, which with slow internet takes more time too and probably doesn't look as much like a bounce.

It's the perfect cover for Google. All the techies who would get outraged by something like this generally have fast internet and ad-blockers.
