If interstitial ads (with the profits going to Google) started to appear in the middle of videos I would probably stop using YouTube for everything that requires some concentration to follow. Right now I only subscribe to channels that have ads only at the beginning or the end, but for now that is a choice that creators can make.
- josephcsible 5y agoThis has already started to happen.
- jabroni_salad 5y agoThe barrier for that recently lowered from 10m to 8m so expect to see more of them.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoOn the bright side, we'll get shorter videos with less padding and fluff to make the 10 minute mark. I guess that's a small consolation prize.
- falcolas 5y agoThe blame for that lays with Google as well, since short videos are not present in the most effective discovery channels.
- bonzini 5y agoSome creators only use one interstitial ad per monetized videos independent of the length. However if YouTube added more of them to pad their coffers, that would be quite different.
