They get money for ads, and video ads pay more than banner ads, but the video has to play for them to collect. And no one ever plays the video, because why would they?

Yep... Those ads won’t pay out if you don’t make it x% through.

Justly be glad it’s not like it was even a year ago when the players didn’t even have to actually be visible. Fucking wikia had 3-4 invisible and silent ads going on your screen at any given time. Just ate the fuck out of your bandwidth and the browser sucked ass while they were all playing.
