why Youtube has 30 min- 2 hr ads sometimes during videos

203 views

Do they think ppl will leave them on and listen to the whole thing? Do the people that run these ads have to pay extra?

I suspect that video posters get paid based on ad watch time. If someone watches ten seconds of a two-hour ad, they still get paid for that ten seconds. Having really long ads can earn them a lot of money for people that have YouTube playing in the background with autoplay. A person might not realize right away that they are watching and ad, and might not skip until a couple minute in, or perhaps even much more.
