So as a content creator, I can give you some insights into why this is. Keep in mind this will change eventually, and doesn't apply to every creator.
Simply put: if I make a video that's eight (8) minutes long, or longer, I can change where the mid-roll advertisement is placed. If it's less, I cannot. I also get less adverts the shorter the video is. If it's ten (10) minutes or longer, I get more and more adverts.
That's why when my wife and I watched a video about how a certain food stuff was made (I think it was a type of pasta), they made it 10m 30s long and used b-roll footage of pasta moving along a conveyor belt for 2-3 f-ing minutes.
- IAmGraydon 3y agoSo what you’re saying is that as a content creator, it’s about the money and not the content. At least that’s what your post appears to be saying, as you’re letting monetization potential guide your creative decisions.
- movedx 3y agoFor some, sure. I don't bother customising or changing the adverts that YouTube shows. I let them determine that. Just keep in mind that YouTube will show you adverts whether I enable monetisation or not, so I may as well turn it on.
- joshspankit 3y ago> it’s about the money and not the content I think that’s unfair. In most cases people are doing YouTube as a source of income and in order to do that they must: - Create regular content - Stick to content that YouTube encourages - Diversify intelligently If they make a mis-step on any of those they can lose that stream of income overnight.
- IAmGraydon 3y agoI get it, and you're right. I think we're all just tired of every bit of media being driven by revenue. There seems to be nothing that has been untouched/corrupted by this. Clearly I understand that people need to live, though.
