Nope, you’ll just get 10x as many ads with half the duration to minimize the amount of time your brain has to determine if something irrelevant or not. Those 5 second ads don’t cut short because they’re kind - it’s all they need to repeat to have the name, jingle, or sad-face burned into your neural net.
