YouTube, the popular video streaming platform owned by Google, has announced that it will remove the “Overlay ads” ad format from its platform starting from April 6, 2023. The move is in response to feedback from viewers who find these ads disruptive, and it is also expected to benefit YouTube creators.
Overlay ads are a legacy ad format that is only served on desktops and can be disruptive for viewers. By removing them, YouTube is creating an opportunity for creators to earn more revenue from other ad formats, such as pre-roll ads, which play before a video begins. These ad formats are known to be more effective and generate more revenue for creators.
The removal of overlay ads will undoubtedly enhance the viewer experience, making YouTube a more enjoyable platform for all. This is especially important as YouTube faces increased competition from other video-sharing platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, which have gained popularity, especially among younger audiences, with their short-form videos and algorithmic content discovery features.
According to YouTube, there will be no changes to any of its other ad formats, and creators will still be able to activate or add other ad formats from within YouTube Studio when accessing monetization options. However, advertisers who rely on overlay ads may be affected by this move. Overlay ads are known for their affordability, making them a popular option for advertisers with smaller budgets. By removing them, Google is creating a gap in the market that may lead to increased competition and pricing for other ad formats.
The removal of overlay ads from YouTube is a significant move that will undoubtedly enhance the viewer experience and benefit creators. It is also a sign that YouTube is taking steps to remain competitive in a crowded market and continue to attract viewers and creators alike. While the move may pose a challenge for advertisers who rely on overlay ads, it presents an opportunity for them to explore other ad formats and reach their target audience effectively.
