Google has made it known to users who make use of its video platform, youtube that they will be unleashing un-skippable ads on all the channels of its publishers. That means as a user, you will no longer have the rights,ability or authority to skip ads before watching any video on youtube.
According to google, they had to do this so as to improve the revenues generated via ads for its publishers. The maximum video length of this ads will be between 15s - 20s. So, to all the heavy users of youtube out there, brace for the impact in a couple of days, as you are likely to see lots of unskippable ads while watching videos. There's no doubt this is a step further for its creators/publishers in terms of wealth circulation.

Whats your take on this???

Well if its financially beneficial for the "content creator" then I am with this, but if all that extra revenue/cash will go straight to "the management" then I am against it...

Well said... I think it benefits all the party involved(YouTube, advertisers and publishers/content creators) but the move was made mainly for her content creators, to help them generate more revenues.

Well, I really hope you are right about this one @princeemmanuel!
I do use youtube quite often... There is a lot of weird music that I cannot find anywhere else, or at least not for free. I also think content creators should be rewarded properly.
