As a regular YouTube viewer I was pleased to see that they have announced they will drop the locked in :30 ads before certain videos Laugh

starting next year Angry

. But then I realized that might cut down a bit on a source of income for some of us Cry

. But then I read that they are going to replace the :30's with unskippable :20 ads Shocked

, and :06 ads, so voice talent income should be about the same Money Mouth

.

Oh, and I learned from the article below that those ads you can skip are called True View ads and can be any length Money Mouth

. The advertiser only pays for those if they are watched all the way through Get Lost

.

youtube has gotten quite good at targeting me with ads i MIGHT watch all the way through. some of them are clever, entertaining and MIGHT even entice me to click through.

as an aside, first of the year, an automotive group i work with has pulled ALL local TV advertising in favor of targeted web campaigns ... and all indications show that it's moving metal.
