YouTube has recently "improved" mid-video ad placement. They have always jammed in tons of ads, but this is totally insane. 9 ads in a 26 minute video, all placed completely at random, as far as I can tell. For now, I can still delete them, but the day is quickly approaching when creators will no longer have any control of ads. We have already lost control of pre and post video ads, the type of ads (skippable, banner, etc), and they also run ads on video that are set to "not monetized".

The video is coming. It’s just taking forever. Building things is hard.

Everything is Fine! Unfortunately, I don’t know how to speak earnestly about YouTube without it sounding depressing or, much worse, smug. Neither was intentional. Thanks for all the kind words. I was not expecting that.

Sorry, no video this weekend. I got a bit distracted. Should have one in a few days.

If you like electrical troubleshooting, this is a fascinating video about the Apollo 13 mission. There's a lot more to it than a "main B bus under-volt"! It still blows my mind that 55 years ago engineers in Houston were able to do a successful real-time electrical diagnosis from 320,000km away!
