For this to work they would need to really improve the recommendation algorithm by a lot! E.g. if I knew that I had a couple of high quality videos lined up to watch this evening, I might tolerate a couple of minutes of ads in between. But I would not tolerate them between random short trash videos... I would just watch a lot less Youtube then (which would maybe be a good thing tbh).
