"YouTube's latest rollout brings 30-second unskippable ads to TV apps, with 60-second versions already in beta testing. These replace the familiar double-tap of 15-second ads, part of YouTube's push to make streaming feel more like traditional television. The change targets connected TV viewers specifically, where Google's AI decides between 6-second bumpers, standard skippable ads, or the new extended format based on your viewing context."
"With 10.4% of all TV viewing according to Nielsen data and over 1 billion daily hours watched on TVs, YouTube dominates the living room screen wars. Unskippable ads are now one of the most significantly cost-effective, with an 87.84% decrease in CPM since 2019. YouTube projects $62 billion in revenue by 2025, potentially surpassing Disney."
