In game ads are becoming insufferable

[BWAU96]

I realize Apple probably controls the ads, not the game developers. Seems like they almost don't want users to view them anymore. Ads are getting longer, and now it's taking 5 or 6 taps at the end (with about 5 seconds between X taps) to get out of them. Not sure how making the ad experience worse and worse increases clicks, but it seems to be the strategy now.

One occasion where Windows wins, and there are very few of those! Windows version used to have ads, but bcause of either license or revenue issues, they stopped around 8 years ago. Now we get a 5 second timer pause and hold screen instead - still delays play but not infuriating to watch.

Or because of the people that used to write in and complain "haven't you got any other ads?" after having one repeat infinitum. Some of them also used to get stuck, or breakdown half way through playing, or not get the gift item after you had watched the ad.
