User reviews
I like looking up random things. When a video pops up, I like checking it out. Every time it plays within google, you have watch the first ad then another 5 seconds. Most youtube ads only have the first 5 seconds before you can skip. I was curious about why it did this. I found this post on reddit:https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/10dfy4s/why_are_google_video_searches_now_opening_youtube/ the guy who made this posted on Reddit. I was like: someone took the time to make an extension? That's definitely worth a 5 star review as my ad watching time is now halved.
