It will always be randomized, otherwise it's not targeted. There's no reason to run Swedish pampers ads in the US or Walmart ads in Japan.

"Placement" ie. on the timeline, friend. Not target.

Right but the swedish pampers ad and the walmart as will be different lengths so the timings wont be the same

So then after one person has had 2 ads that last a total of 40 seconds and another has had 2 that lasted 70 the timing is completly off for how far into the videos the ads are

Adtech? Fuck no I have self respect.

Yeah, it was a rhetorical comment on your understanding of how that process works at all, no offense.

Feel free to enlighten me (and others who've said the same) with your superior knowledge of how timestamps of ads stay constant when they are of different lengths.
