    I don’t understand why YouTube doesn’t just put the video ads in-stream, just seems stupid for stupid’s sake at this point.

      Maybe this is some weird way of testing the waters. If they just solved the problem outright, users who wouldn’t put up with ads would just leave. This way they can see how many users will just tolerate the change without really committing.
