I’m sure we’ve all experienced this to some extent, but I also feel like confirmation bias can play a large role here, so im curious. Is there actually something running in the background that boosts ads over actual content? Is there any literature or first hand employee (YouTube or similar) experience on this
Now is that seedy or is it just an efficient means of getting both shirt ads and longer form content to the consumer? I also see that thelis question could be subjective.
CDN would be my guess as well. Maybe not different, but they would definitely have their ads queued up on every CDN possible while the video content is unlikely to be on your nearest CDN unless it’s a Mr. Beast video

I remember also seeing the explanation on Reddit (or maybe it was Lemmy?), and what you said is basically exactly the same as what I’ve seen.

Different CDNs, I believe
