Hmmm, watch an ad or wait five seconds..... Not sure they thought this one out.
At this point i would rather watch an empty wall for a minute than a 10s ad
But... It may alert you to the existence of a game that has a completely different mechanic than the one presented in the ad!
I mean that's why Hulu got rid of the free tier.
