Correction: 00:44 You CAN decide if you enable mid rolls or not. This is the one ad format that you do have control over! :)

It isn’t “this means you no longer have to decide which ad type.” It means “you no longer can decide which ad type.” I view this as a negative.

[TheBonsaiZone]

The final nail in the longer video format coffin, YouTube will be just like TV, people will just get sick of so many ads and leave forever.

[ShadyDoorags]

YouTube decided we're not competent enough to run ads properly on our channels, so they're gonna do it for us. Fun.

[mattingramsound]

So YT doesn't like that some creators are not maximizing their ads served. Their answer is to take more control away from the creators. Less control + more ads, sounds like a pretty bad deal.

[KimCarter]

I can't believe you guys are trying to spin this positively. I understand. You're all about getting people to use the data and get their numbers up. Well, some of us are trying to tell stories, comfort people, and make art. It's about more than soulless numbers. And having mid-roll ads breaks immersion. Especially if it's something designed to help someone sleep. So, I guess I'll be turning ads off for those. Fantastic. If I'm listening to a video in my niche that has mid-roll ads, I always turn it off. Every time. "Oh, they're taking the guess work away!" No. They're taking CONTROL away. I get that it's probably not the best idea for your guys to rail against, but you could have a more balanced approach to this.

i'm done with content creation. twitch, youtube, all trying to SHOVE ads down viewers throats, this is a bad idea terrible

[ecadventures]

To the person who is reading this, don't give up on your channel. Keep going, Its going to be better. 💯

[MindBursterz]

youtube please hold on the changes, i just started😢

[SongbirdGaming]

I hate unskippable ads myself, and so I never enable them, especially for livestreams... I figure one $2-$5 superchat more than pays for the pennies I'm missing out on by not including those ads. I'd rather have a long term view and focus on building a community, rather than get an extra $.89 or whatever in one livestream.

[Larxy_]

why cant we remove skippable ads, i hate that. im gonna invest in an add blocker

[carolinemccready]

I create content to help people sleep, meditations and breathing practices. This is such a huge disaster for anyone creating sleep content. I put so much time and care into the videos to help people relax and get sleep when they're struggling, literally the last thing they need is an ad to brutally wake them up at the end. I'm not sure my channel can survive this change.

[StephenJoines]

This is all about making YouTube more money at our expense. Why else would you take away our choice on where to show them? Removing the skip option will annoy many viewers and potentially hurt watch time a lot more than stating it won't.
One thing that needs to change is showing ads before a video when the channel is not monetised. If you show ads, you pay.

[callofdarksouls]

Honestly as a viewer I would hate that even on videos where the creator doesn’t want midroll ads to show YouTube will still force them on you without a choice

[OfficialSandeepPlayZ]

To Summarise:

1. YouTube is updating monetization in November, affecting long-form videos and live streams.
2. Monetization for long-form videos will change:
- Individual control over ad formats (pre-roll, post-roll, skippable, non-skippable) will be removed.
- YouTube will determine the most appropriate ad format for viewers.
- Creators can toggle monetization on or off with a single button.
- YouTube will use viewer data to select ad formats that won't push viewers away.
- Creators may earn more revenue with this change.
3. Live stream ads will have new options:
- Creators can choose ad frequency in intervals (6, 12, 18, 24, 30 minutes).
- Alternatively, YouTube can decide the ad frequency based on conservative, balanced, or aggressive settings.
- A 60-second countdown will appear before mid-roll ads during streams, allowing viewers to skip or delay them.
- Creators can manually insert mid-roll ads during live streams using the "Insert Ads" button.
4. The changes aim to increase revenue for both creators and YouTube.
5. The video also requests viewers to like, subscribe, and use a free browser extension for creators.
6. The presenter expresses a positive opinion about these changes but encourages viewers to share their thoughts in the comments.

(gosh this took a while lol)

[KrisHughes]

As a small channel, there is NO WAY I want to annoy my viewers with mid-roll ads. What I would make as a result will NOT make it worth it. How long before YouTube forces ads onto all videos?

[PositivelyAngela]

No, I dislike watching ads in the middle, it is disruptive.
I use pre / post and skippable ads only.

[PawsumGaming]

Still doesn't help channels that can't hit monetization for whatever reason...

[DeltaMikeTorrevieja]

Great, YouTube will push ALL of your viewers to the very edge of their tolerance, and a proportion beyond. Great

[inpitlane]

YouTube is becoming unwatchable due to their ads. It's especially annoying during live events.

[hallorwalahfrid]

I think that today is lot easier to get monetized (especially if you use a little bit of famester or any other similar tool). For me it wouldn't have been possible to get monetized if I didn't find out about this tool, and it really helped me to get over 1000 subs requirement on my second channel. I needed only like a week max, can't remember correctly. After that it's just a walk in the park.
