Unable to select videos to display ads
You are targeted within a certain range but cannot choose the context in which to play the promotional video Standing in the role of the user, you will see many times when the ad is displayed that is not related to the video you are watching.
The factors that increase the interaction rate have not been optimized yet
The text that appears on the ad video has a very low rate It is limited to a maximum of 50 characters including CTA (call-to-action), brief description… To overcome this limitation, you should create Thumbnail that attracts viewers and invests well in the first seconds of your video video.
Difficult to target customers accurately
Targeting is both an advantage and a disadvantage of YouTube Ads.Narrowing your ad audience doesn't mean you're targeting the right potential customers, as users create their own video portfolio.
Tiktok
In-Feed Ads are the video ads that appear in between user videos as you scroll through your For You page If you’re unfamiliar with TikTok and the For You page,In-Feed Ads are very similar to the ads you’d see while tapping through InstagramStories.

2.2.6 Benefits and Drawback of TikTok ads
Expand your lead base with TikTok ads
With its popularity, TikTok is an affordable option for brands to increase brand awareness and expand their potential customer base to Gen Z and Millennials At the same time, data published by Decision Labalso shows that the number of Gen Z and Millennial users is constantly increasing; thereby, providing opportunities to help brands promote products effectively to young customers.
Tik Tok ads do not interrupt the user experience
Instead of disrupting the user experience, TikTok ads are displayed seamlessly along with posts in the "Following" or "For You" section This makes the user experience unbroken and similar to the creator's content.
If the brand's ads are creative and engaging, users can tap the share button on the right side of the screen to access various sharing functions From there, create a viral effect for advertising campaigns on multiple platforms.
Users can interact with content in a variety of ways
The third advantage that TikTok ads offer is the features that encourage users to interact with the brand in a variety of ways As mentioned earlier, TikTok is a platform designed to encourage people to engage in topics they love.
Brands that advertise on TikTok effectively often take advantage of the features provided by Tik Tok to maximize engagement and spread content Some special features of TikTok can be mentioned as: o Merge one video into another: This feature allows users to grab another
TikTok clip and add it to their own video. o Duet (duet) on TikTok: This function allows users to create feedback or dialogue with content available on TikTok Creators can use subtitles of different colors to let users know which parts they can respond to, act on, or sing along to. Businesses can use this feature to create contests or further enhance user engagement with brands. o Create original sounds: This function allows brands to provide content creators with special tunes and sounds Users can use these special sounds to nest into videos and tell their own stories From there, help the tone and message of the brand spread and differ deeply into the user's mind.
Since it is a short video sharing platform, the attention span of users on TikTok is very short Brands only have a few brief seconds to grab their attention If users find the message unappealing or realize it's an ad, they'll quickly swipe up to find other,more interesting content Therefore, the effectiveness of TikTok ads completely depends on the creativity of the brand.
