Not when Google is just doing a money grab and is doing a terrible job at filtering ads. They have some ads that are 1.5 hours long. That shouldn't be possible. I also recently reported an ad that was clearly AI generated content of Elon Musk doing a crypto scam. Report was ignored.

Regardless of whether an ad is 5 seconds or 8 hours, you can skip it after the first 5 seconds.

On Android TV that's not always true - you sometimes get a batch of unskippable ads for 15 seconds or so

To be fair Elon Musk crypto scams are ignored even on Elon Musk's own platform.
