YouTube Simplifies Ad Controls

YouTube has made changes to their ad controls, simplifying the process for creators. New uploads will now only be able to toggle ads on or off, removing the ability to control where ads appear and whether they are skippable. Midroll ads remain unchanged, and both manually placed and automatic midrolls can now be enabled. These changes may lead to more ads served to viewers and increased revenue for Google.
