Pre-Roll Video Ads Still Hated, Here to Stay

In all the internet, is there a less innovative ad type than the pre-roll?

Yet when it comes to online video, in the end, that's where the action is. The ad unit has been maligned, foresworn, abused and dismissed. But like a cockroach, it survives, while many other online video ad units have faded into obscurity. Heck, I once promised that there would never be a pre-roll at Revision3, but I was eating my words within a year...
