Noticing TikTok has started putting ad breaks in the middle of videos

This change just happened for me today. I’ve been loving TikTok in the way I have it fine tuned for what I want to see and have always understood the need for ad videos occasionally in between real content. The ads DURING videos are so distracting and completely take me out of whatever I’m learning, watching, etc. Like these videos are a few seconds to a few minutes, do we really need to have them broken up by ads? I hate it. I’ve started just skipping the videos even if I find them interesting as soon as the ad comes on as some pathetic kind of protest that I know won’t help anything. It makes me all the more happy to be participating in something like Lemmy that isn’t just trying to squeeze every drop of revenue from my attention.
