Why is there a “fetching link” countdown when downloading certain files online?
In: Technology
To make you stare at ads.
Ads are pay per click and pay per view. A view is counted only after a second for image or more than 50% for the video has passed since the ad has fully loaded inside the visible portion of the page.
They make you wait for ads to load on the page, so you could see them and they get their +1 view. If you accidentally click on any of the ads or fake download buttons it’s even better.
