MODERATORS
They will lose control of the pre roll and post roll ads but maintain control of the ad breaks during the video. This is actually a smart change and data driven.
It's quite obvious that most people commenting here didn't read the post, given that it says 90% of creators already have all ad types enabled for pre and post video already, and that it directly leads to greater payouts to them.
And i'm here wonder: do most creator care about how ads are setup? I'm pretty sure, out of the millions of creator, only a small number of them will control how ads are display, the rest only care about how much money they make. And tbf, if a platform is free, that's how they earn money.
