I recall an automatic ad change being announced maybe a year or two ago, I didn't realize that it meant they were retroactively adding automatic ad placements to all of your videos. YouTube sucks man.

First image is ads including the automatic ones. Some of the ads are less than a minute apart.
Second image are the ads I had in originally.

Soooo... YouTube added a ton of automatic ads to my older videos with absolutely no warning. I'm in the process of scrubbing them for some of my more viewed videos.
I never put more than 1 ad every 10 minutes or so on longer videos, sorry if you've been hit with a lot more than that.

Quick vent: I ordered an Ayn Thor back in November it supposedly shipped in mid Dec, and heard nothing about it for 2 months. Right now support's answer is to get the refund (that I don't qualify for) and order another one. Real neat. I'm emailing to hopefully get a different answer but we'll see

I don't know if it's just a me issue, but I've never done a thumbnail or title A/B test where the difference in clickrate was more than 1 or 2 percent

Results of the new Farm poll I took this last week, compared to two years ago. Similar order, but with a few shifts. A lot more people are willing to adventure outside of the Standard farm, but the "powerful" farms overall have a larger slice of the pie than before, even if you ignore meadow

So real interesting note here, usually ad revenue spikes from November through December, but this year it seemed to spike at the beginning of November, then go right back to normal.
Seems to me that advertisers realized no one was buying anything thanks to a cost of living crisis.

Y'all I was going to do the walk for the 2nd attempt at the pokewalker run, and I started by shoveling my driveway. I hurt my back so now I'm shaking the pokewalker while lying on my couch
