What are non-skippable ads on YouTube

In addition, there are several types of unmissable ads on YouTube. Previously it lasted as long as 30 seconds, but many users were dissatisfied with this solution. Later Google decided that they should reduce the time of display of ads in the video to 20 seconds. There are as many as 3 types of such ads that YouTube itself inserts into the videos:

  • Pre-Roll is a commercial that is shown to you before you watch the video. They usually last quite a long time and run before the start of the video itself.
  • Mid-roll commercials are usually shown in the middle of the video itself. In this case, they may be shown several times in one video, depending on the length of the video.
  • Bumper ads are the rarest rolls. They usually last about 6 or 5 seconds and stand clearly at the end of the clip.

These are all types of commercials that YouTube currently shows. In addition, sometimes there are commercials that can last quite a long time, up to several minutes, but after 20 seconds you will be allowed to skip them. I advise you not to fall asleep to YouTube videos so you won’t wake up and realize you’ve been listening to a commercial for 40 minutes.

Why you shouldn’t skip YouTube ads

In fact, there are 2 main reasons why you can choose not to run ads at will. Since it doesn’t last that long and you always have the option to skip it after a few seconds, watching ads doesn’t become so annoying. In addition, YouTube tracks your activity and offers you personalized ads that may be of interest to you as a result. To prevent this from happening you can delete your YouTube account history.

So the most obvious way for you to watch ads is to support a content maker. The fact is that youtubers get money for every ad you see in their videos. Accordingly, the more people watch ads, the more the Youtuber earns. In this case, you can support your favorite author for free. All you have to do is watch a few seconds of the commercial.

In addition, skip the commercials is completely free. Thing is, you can subscribe to a premium subscription so you won’t be distracted by ads, but you’ll have to pay for it. Just skipping ads on the other hand is free and won’t take up much of your time.

Also, sometimes the inability to skip ads may be due to a bug. For example, if you’ve had a spike in Internet, the video may not be loaded after ads and skip ads button will simply not available. It can also be connected with a system error of your device.

How to skip ads on YouTube

There are only two legal ways to skip advertising. Although I would say one of them is semi-legal. However, they both work great and can help you skip unnecessary ads. In addition, you can also get some other benefits for free.

Does it worth subscribing to YouTube Premium. For just a few dollars you can get rid of any ads you might see on YouTube. In addition, the subscription also includes a free Youtube Music. So if you pay for one subscription you get the second one for free.

Also, you can install an ad blocker. The best way to do this is to use Chrome. There is a very handy tool that allows you to not only block ads on YouTube, but also to remove different banners and ads on other sites. The same function is built into the Opera browser. In this case, you will not even have to download any additional extensions.

How much do creators earn from YouTube ads

Everyone thinks that bloggers and YouTubers make millions from YouTube ads. However, this isn’t entirely true. Viewing a commercial costs between $0.01 and $0.03, depending on the region of the viewer. Thus, for 1,000 ad views, it’s possible to earn about $18.

However, since many watch YouTube with YouTube premium or ad blocker then the real earnings per 100 views is estimated at about $ 3-5 dollars. Of course bloggers whose loyal audience that supports them can earn more. However, if for example you have 1 million views then you will get $300-500, and if you produce a lot of videos a month, the number will be decent.

And still the main earnings of Youtubers come from other things. Such as advertising embedded in the video, supporting viewers with donations or paid subscriptions, product placement, and various cooperations with brands. This is the main income for bloggers.
