Recent trailers have revealed plot points that would normally be considered spoilers. Should studios stop doing this?

    The craziest trailers are the ones that flash a 5 seconds of clips before starting the actual trailer.

      Those are to get your attention if used as an ad because you can’t skip within the first few seconds usually.

        They pay for the ads right? Why not just have that 5 second clip be for the ad and not for the actual youtube video?

          That 5 second clip is the ad and then it plays the rest of the trailer which is also the ad. They know post people will skip the ad so they have a short spot at the beginning as an attention grabber in hopes you won’t skip.
