Answer: Reaching users who have demonstrated a strong, habitual interest in specific topics based on their long-term browsing behavior
Affinity audiences target YouTube users who have shown sustained, long-term interest in specific categories (e.g., avid gamers, cooking enthusiasts) based on their habitual browsing and search behavior.
Which ad creative best practice is recommended for maintaining viewer attention in the critical first 5 seconds of a YouTube skippable In-Stream ad?

Since viewers can skip after 5 seconds, the opening hook must instantly grab attention with curiosity, surprise, or a relevant value proposition to earn the next 25 seconds of viewing.
