Ads too long

Ads used to be 30 seconds which was reasonable (other than the ones you can’t actually X out of because they scam you into lengthening the ad by making X not actually work), but now 80% of the ads are Royal Match/Kingdom and they dont even try to fool you Into thinking they’re 30 seconds. They’re not only all over a minute long, but you STILL have to X out numerous times taking you to nearly 90 seconds. Kinda ridiculous for a game I already have. Are 90 second ads more effective? Hell no. And where did the 5 seconds ads go? At least that balanced it out a bit, sheesh

I've said before that marketing 101 is DON'T piss off prospective customers. These overly long ads that make you jump through hoops to close the ad guarantee I WON'T want whatever they're hawking. The more obnoxiuos the ad the less I'll want it.

Commercials are one of my least favorite things in this world...
And now we're being asked to watch more with fewer rewards.
We used to watch 4 (usually) 30 second commercials at Marco for 4 rewards.
Now we watch 2 (usually) 60 second commercials for 2 rewards.
Likewise, we now get one 60 second commercial for one Artifact where we used to get 2 30 second commercials for 2 Artifacts.

The other commercials ("Daily Rewards") have also doubled in length with no increase in rewards.
And now we have the wonderful opportunity to watch a minute long commercial for a whopping 5 Crowns.

I understand the need to be profitable (sadly) but I think we should, at the very least, be getting adequate rewards for our time.
