Hi folks! I've had a few folks mention that they're seeing mid-roll ads in my videos. Friendly reminder that I've never once opted in to mid-roll ads, so if you're seeing one, I didn't place it there.
YouTube is "optimizing" their ad placement system, and while I've opted out as much as possible, I am worried that YouTube will, one way or another, disregard this setting.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: my channel is funded primarily by Patrons and Ko-Fi supporters and not YouTube ad revenue. The revenue share has decreased as I've made more videos, and while I can respect that YouTube needs to keep the lights on, I am very intentional about *not* breaking up videos just to cram more ads inside. I don't fault others for doing it, but it's not my style.
I offer all of the videos ad-free without a paywall as well, over on TinkerBetter.tube/, a PeerTube site I self-host. You can subscribe to it via RSS or through most ActivityPub clients. Livestreams aren't on PeerTube yet but I'm working on that as well.
