YouTube ads

[Gelst]

The youtube double ads are not something new and they have been around since like 11/2018 at least that's what a quick google search said.Since I'm not paying for youtube premium I have them as well and they are super annoying. Unfortunately that's what we have to live with if we want free music, it costs money for companies like youtube, spotify to give us free music.

It's a relatively new modification to YouTube's ads. I noticed that as well -- many times, the first ad has to be watched all the way through (usually no longer than 10 seconds), and then the second ad can be skipped after 5 seconds.

And YouTube thinks people actually watch these ads LOL. I just get busy doing other things and till that nonsense is over

It's the same story for any service, really. At least they're short and can be skipped. The ads on Twitch seem endless, if you don't subscribe to a channel.

Are they both running the same version of YouTube?

So I finally remembered and looked it up. It wasn't when I did it earlier. Updated my S10+, now it's the same version. But out of the five times, only the first time did I get a ad (it was a 1min ad so it's the normal occasionally one). The rest went straight to the video.

So yeah I do think they're testing it on certain models.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Funny, because on my newer TV , it plays those adds as well as adds Midway through some YouTube videos. But on my older Vizio TV I never get any adds midway through a video. Must be the YouTube software version that came with the TV wouldn't you think?

Could be the software, or like we were saying above, might also be the device. Hard to say when it comes to Google voodoo!

Please, no mentions of apps that violate YouTube's terms of service. The ones that try to get around payment requirements amount to theft.

Is that like [redacted my Mod]?

 

[B. Diddy]

Yes.

Google's witchcraft knows no bounds. LOL


This is sorta on, but off topic. Say I'm paying for YouTube Premium, how do those creators get paid since there are no ads on YouTube Premium? Does Google pay those people as if the ads were played, or does the creator get a percentage of a percentage of the subscription I'm paying for?

They get paid certain percentage of every YouTube premium views, I recall some YouTuber mentioning it. Most likely the non premium views get more revenue via ads.
