YouTube has a new ad format fueled by Gemini - and it might be the worst thing I've ever heard
Briefly

YouTube's introduction of new ad formats, notably 'Peak Points,' aims to enhance ad effectiveness by placing ads at points of high viewer engagement. However, this may disrupt the viewer experience as ads interrupt pivotal scenes in videos. In contrast, the 'Shoppable CTV' format offers a more seamless ad experience, allowing users to engage with products without interrupting their viewing. Overall, these strategies raise concerns about user satisfaction amidst the rising number of ads.
YouTube's new 'Peak Points' ad product places ads after the most engaging moments of videos, disrupting viewer immersion and potentially increasing ad effectiveness.
The 'Shoppable CTV' format offers a less interruptive ad experience, allowing viewers to browse and purchase items during ad breaks.
