It's also viewer retention. A 5 second video doesn't get as much money as keeping viewers around for 15 minutes.

here's some info how YouTube works

http://smallbusiness.chron.com/youtube-payments-work-38102.html

"Compensation
After being accepted as a YouTube partner, ads will be run on your video, and your compensation will be based on one of two methods: per 1,000 impressions or per click. Per 1,000 impressions means that you'll receive a certain amount of money per 1,000 views -- as long as the view has an ad on it. If, for instance, someone embeds your video onto a social networking site, and the video doesn't have an ad on it, then you won't receive compensation for those views. The other method is more straightforward, and gives you money based on the amount of clicks that the advertisements on the video receive."

So i guess if i run ad block - i'm not letting others get paid for stuff i watch

Didn't know i was such a commie prick by not watching ads. :P

^I kind of want to not use adblock but it's a nightmare without it, companies that abused it and made it a necessity are evil!

and some of the ads on YouTube were so bad and long, i think a lot use ad block. i think commercials are dying and they are trying to place the product within the content now so you cant block it.

I started using Adblock when ads started to crash my flash player on twitch.
