Watching a 30 second ad in order to see a 10 second clip is kind of dumb.

If I am just letting music videos run on the TV for background noise I don't stop what I am doing and find the remote the click for a 10 second commercial

for the kitten cams I watch, because the channel owner makes a bit of money if I watch ads. Most of the ads are pretty short.

But I'm not gonna watch a 10-minute ad, even to benefit needy cats.

since I know I will be watching kitties (TinyKittens?) for a while I will let a 30 second add or less play out. I can go get a snack or something while it plays.
