Google can try, but they're not gonna force people to watch their unskippable rolls of 2+ 30 second ads. It's just not happening. Culture as a whole has shifted away from ads. Tivo and other DVR devices make it easy to fast-forward through ads in recorded show. Streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, etc. have spoiled even the average TV show viewer.
