YouTube first spoke about pause ads last year when it started trialing them in select regions. At the time, the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it.
“In Q1, we saw strong traction from the introduction of a pause ads pilot on connected TVs, a new non-interruptive ad format that appears when users pause their organic content,” Schindler noted. He went on to share that YouTube’s pause ads are “driving strong brand lift results” and “are commanding premium pricing from advertisers.”
Schindler didn’t share any timelines for when pause ads will start appearing on YouTube, but we know they’ll first roll out on smart TVs. The nature of these ads, including their duration, skippability, and more is still unclear. We also don’t know if Google plans to introduce these ads on YouTube’s mobile apps.
So? Creating videos isn’t free, but few creators are receiving money worth the time they put in.
They also have a cycle-of-rage algorithm leading children from video game content into far-right radicalization.
The people you watch on yt get a higher amount from premium viewers.
the ones that are getting paid through the youtube partner program are getting that through either premium subs or ad revenue.
so if we get rid of all the ads on the platform where does the money to run the platform come from?
