OK, it might not seem like much. YouTube said it's in response to research that shows viewers are "quite sensitive" to the frequency of ad breaks, especially while watching longer videos. Ah yes, remember how annoying ads were during those days of watching a movie on TV?
YouTube said it'll introduce the new experience on desktops this year, which will be followed by mobiles, then TVs.
The change seems to be also good news for advertisers, with YouTube claiming an 8 to 11 percent increase in unique reach in early experiments.

You can't avoid them, so they might as well work for you.
