    But they can’t extend it longer than the shortest ads, since then it’ll affect users after they watch ads too, which kinda defeats the point

      Exactly, so this still guarantees a better experience than ad viewers because you will always have the minimum ad length

      That’s not a problem. Just put in longer ads. Or multiple ads in a row.
