YouTube has clarified that reports of 90-second unskippable ads appearing on TV were not intentional, saying the issue was caused by a bug. The company added that it is investigating the issue and has started rolling out a fix to affected users. Despite the clarification, YouTube has not provided a detailed explanation of how the bug occurred or why it appeared to affect multiple users at the same time. For now, users who encountered extended ad breaks on TV should see improvements as the fix continues to roll out. That's 194 bugs fixed and over a dozen new feature improvements, including a faster and more usable image uploader/manager.
