• I don’t know if it is my
ad blocker, or my region, or if something has changed, but the
monologue on YT is without pre-video ad(s) for me.
• As I understand it, the ads on YT videos are part of a partner program. I think channels with less than 10,000 total views are not eligible. (My few videos will never see ads, even if I wanted to.) If you were thinking of reposting clips on your own channel to have a difference in pre-video ads, then I don’t think you can expect to get away that. I’m not sure why some non-official channels are able to post tv clips while others get their clips taken down.
