Been lurking on hn for a year now, finally made an account because I can give some value with a comment

Youtube content creators can choose where to put the ads themselves. You will come across many videos with only the first ad or the ads set sparely in the video, some even put the ads in breaks. You can also chose to let YouTube put the ads but that’s also a one and done, one setting per video. I can confirm though that YouTube, on the automated setting, put way more ads in the past year or two than before.

I've had several videos now where I get an ad every few minutes, and I'm curious how consistent it could be when none of the comments acknowledge it. Are you aware of different viewers getting different numbers of ads?

Isn't there a limit on how often you can run ads? I remember some Youtuber talking about how people are deliberately making their videos just over 10 minutes long because then they can also put an ad in the middle, not just at the beginning or end, or something like that.
