Why do ads load better and faster than the video you’re trying to watch?

650 views

When I’m trying to watch a video, an ad will load right away and play flawlessly in the beginning. But when the ad is done, the video sometimes takes awhile to load and play (even if it’s a minute long video like the ad was). I understand some of that may be due to internet issues, but is there something else going on?

Short answer. Because that’s how they make money. Ads are also smaller files so they don’t need to load as much content. They’re also likely to be cached on servers all over the planet so retrieval doesn’t take as long
