I was shocked to see this today from a subscriber... Is this something I should look into, does my Network do this? Are there benefits?
More ads on videos?!

Yeah you can do that for long videos...
I believe you can even pick when the ads happen...
I'm not real sure how it works cause I don't use it but I think the video has to be at least 20 or 30 minutes long to have the option

When you go to edit a video, go into the monetization tab, at the bottom you can chose when you put more adverts. It will really put off new viewers though.
Yeah in the monetization page and on the bottom check the box that says "Display ads during video" or whatever, then just add em in
Yeah they let you do it on longer videos. I don't use it myself though but it does let you choose when to put it in if you want to use them. You can even do multiple breaks if you really want to.
Doing ads at the end of the videos could be a better idea than in the middle, it might not get that many views but it's a lot less obtrusive.
For long videos, midrolls are a thing, but I tend to see them as pure evil. Especially if they're placed right before a punchline of some kind or in a long relaxing music mix.
I'm perfectly fine with pre-roll and post-roll ads, but I really don't see the need for mid-rolls unless necessary to make ends meet.
Also a note: Back in the day, I used to set a mid-roll about 2 seconds before the end of the video, and a post-roll after that. If you were watching a single video and went to make a sandwich, than that was my gain, but I didn't see it as greatly if someone was watching a playlist of a series I had done.

I sometimes use for longer video's like from The Elder Scrolls, it is difficult to cut a video from a MMO into smaller video's so i mostly add some adds in.
