That kind of internet ad could create a new type of ad where the first 2 or 3 seconds of the ad need to be extra-interesting to prevent you from skipping over it.
Sure, on TV they still have to make sure you don't change the channel, but you can't usually skip just the ad without missing something, and there's always the chance that you flipped to a channel in the middle of an ad. SO I wonder if this will bring about any noticable difference. |

Wow, it makes you skip. Maybe it'll change over time. |
