Whats with @YouTube Ads' "Skip to End" button? What happened to just skipping an ad? I was fine with waiting for 5 seconds. But now I have to wait for about 2 seconds for the "Skip to End" button to appear, THEN I have to wait a bunch more seconds before watching the video? What?
Thanks for reaching out. This is a normal part of how YouTube verifies that views are real and accurate. You may see views slow down, freeze, or adjust during this process. Here's more info: https://goo.gl/S7DIry
