NEW VIDEO OUT NOW "I Built A Maximum Security Prison" GO WATCH 🔗: youtu.be/QtGswOQsySE

What I’m doing as a creator on my personal channel: Turning on auto mid-rolls, since that system will continue to be improved and optimized by launch and over time For new videos, manually inserting additional slots if/as needed where I think it’ll provide the best experience for viewers (no point editing for retention if I don’t consider the ad experience as part of retention) For back catalog, sorting by current watch time and doing the same for the top 20-50 most-watched videos (I’ll likely do more over time) (If I see a few extra auto slots in places I don’t want them like around brand deals, I’ll just remove them, otherwise I won’t worry because slots aren’t where ads WILL be, they’re the only places ads CAN be and as long as the slots are well-placed the system will fill as best for the viewer If I see too few or too late slots, I’ll check back around launch date in May because the detection system will likely have gotten better at finding more by then) And I’ll keep the feedback coming, because mid-rolls are part of how creators and YouTube get paid so everyone is incentivized to get this right! 🙏
