YouTube is chiding me for my mid-roll ad placement. It says they should be placed at natural breakpoints. I’m sorry YouTube, but *the ad break* felt pretty natural to me.

You wanna see what THEY’d rather do?
Here’s the single ad I placed on a stream VOD (during break) and the ones they wanted.

@Graham_LRR is this all the ad spots they want to show or just the potential ones and they’ll play or skip based on how long it’s been since another ad was seen… or skipped. Wait, does skipping ads increase how often they play?

Anyone else remember commercials?

@TakaranGolem This is all the slots in which an ad COULD appear, it’s not guaranteed.

@Graham_LRR That’s a relief.

I’m not gonna judge a creator for doing what’s needed to eat (or following the path of fewer spoons spent) but I do enjoy when ads play at designated ad breaks. And I try to let ads play when I have the spoons myself.
