so fucking true, fucking hate that shit
My bottom tier at&t plan when I had it would cut off and put you in slow speeds when the data ran out. When that happened, Crunchyroll would repeatedly only load the advertisements. Once I swapped to the top unlimited plan? Not a problem anymore. Bandwidth matters
ad is more important to be shown than your show that you overpaid and is totally free to download few clicks away
Maybe they alrdy load the ads into ur phone ,so they can display it whenever.
For YouTube at least,the ads are loaded as soon as you open up YouTube because they already know what ads they are going to serve you, the video only starts loading when you begin watching it because they don’t know what video you’re gonna watch
Should’ve added the loading icon on the second one
Short ad is easier to buffer than an hour long video
Selective perception, tech illiteracy and probably apple usage.
true
It can be an issue with hosting sometimes. Ads are often hosted off-site, so when the webpage you are is seeing a lot of traffic, the page/video can load slowly, while the ads remain fast.
Traffic can be shaped and prioritized
The game needs to be loaded but the add is a video that is only 2d and therefore doesnt need near as much proccesing power
offline cached ads maybe in case of phones
Also often in mobile games the ads are cached(stored offline for a fixed amount of time). If you turn off wifi and tried to watch ads in old mobile games it would still work for a while (nowadays they check if wifi is connected before displaying ads).
They preload the ads before you get to them at the highest quality. Since this happens while you watch the show, you get even more lag. There’s a reason I use only my pc to watch stuff, and I have an ad-blocker. Dumbest bs ever
Priorities, man
censored vs uncensored …. nyaaaa
The ad is a smaller video file there’s less to buffer so it will do so quicker.
