Metric met!

I recall a new marketing executive who touted that they had improved the youtube ads so much that NOBODY had skipped a single improved youtube ad!

They made the ads all so short that you couldn't skip them.

Isn't it a good thing? Like if the ads are 5-6 seconds. Then they are certainly in right direction.

If they were trying "skiping not allowed in 60+ sec long ads", then it would be bad

In the right direction for... What?

Maybe for your attention span or what YOU like but maybe not for what they are actually buying ads for... Money
