Youtube's monetization policies strictly forbid clicking your own ads for any reason.
But it doesn't say anything about watching your own video ads
If that were allowed, then what's to stop me from putting my own playlist on a loop, putting that tab in a separate window, muting that tab, and then just letting it play in the background with video ads?
And what's to stop me from taking that a step further, and putting about a thousand mid-roll ads in a 10 minute, 1 second video, putting two of those types of videos as unlisted videos, putting those into an unlisted playlist, and then just playing that on a loop in the background 24/7?
