@MrAlexTech @MarcSettle I’m not even monetised, yet YouTube is sticking 2 ad breaks in a 14 min video. Totally destroys the story. How do I get them to stop!

Just as some insight, I generally let Youtube decide where they go which is the default. However, in the past it has gone a little wild so I've gone and reduced the number of ads. You're totally right it is a balance of ad revenue vs annoying viewers with ads. I do agree 6 is quite alot in 30 minutes. I personally would be happier with about 4 within that length. Youtube Premium is my go to when viewing others! No ads at all massively improves me Youtube time 🙂

A question for YouTubers: I've just watched a 35 minute tutorial which had six ad breaks. That felt like quite a lot, so here's the question: is the number of ad breaks determined by you, the creator; or does YouTube add its own to however many you as the creator want to have?

Trying to embarrass Scott into resigning misses the point. The man has absolutely no shame. He won't leave parliament until he has a job to go to and, as he is kryptonite to all right-thinking companies, that won't be any time soon. The people of Cook be damned. #auspol

Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" is one of the world's most famous images. But what is it? Who the hell is he? Why does he have four arms and four legs? The answer probably has something to do with the room you're sitting in right now...
