I've wondered about this for quite a while.
Ads come in a mixture of types, and I'm not that smart when it comes to understanding what they represent.
While YouTube does tell you a little about what auction means, where they write:
"Skippable video ads that are inserted before or during the main video and are sold via the AdWords auction."
I'm still not sure what "Adwords auction" means? is this just referring to the general, 'bot puts these ads on your content because the advertisers used keywords matched up by chance' to you?
or is it something else
As for reserved, I have no idea what that means, and YouTube's explanation "sold on a reserved basis" doesn't help a dumb person like me understand.
I'm not in desperate need to know this info, I just kinda got back to this forum after a break, and thought I'd pick a topic to talk about. And since I know you guys are brill at analytics deep dives and some have even purchased adspace yourselves, you'd likely know the answer.
as a side note, I hope your all doing well, and 2019 has been good to you all as youtubers.
