YouTube viewers will start seeing ads after ‘peak’ moments in videos

SMRTR summary

YouTube is introducing a new ad format called "Peak Points," which uses AI to identify emotionally impactful moments in videos and place ads immediately after them. The goal is to capture viewers' attention when they're most engaged, potentially increasing ad recall. While this may benefit advertisers, it could frustrate viewers who are deeply invested in the content. YouTube also announced a shoppable product feed allowing users to browse and purchase items during ads.
