I take it then you've never read the little statement in parentheses beside those options (May increase viewer abandonment). What that means is that if you use non-skippables, viewers are more likely to leave without even watching your video!

I'm definitely in favour of losing those in order to increase my watch time quotient. In addition, my earnings will only have one cut taken, not two. With Adsense, I can actually set my own payment threshold, rather than have paltry under-$100.00 units (which still need conversion to British Pounds at the bank, incurring yet another down-slice through Forex conversion fees) thrown at me as soon as the earnings reach that level. Adsense pays in my local currency.

Finally my main, highest earning channel will at last be rejoined to my Adsense income stream, meaning I actually reach my self-set payment threshold much faster. @truemoney18 This is definitely a win-win situation.

Are all your channels connected to Adsense now? If so, it's definitely a nice feeling that everything is connected to a single source and you don't have to worry about third parties (MCN's) potentially screwing you over.
 
The current contract still has about 82 days to run; and as soon as I am unlinked, back to Adsense the two I have on the network go. My unlink request gets escalated to the termination team for the network this afternoon.

your right about viewers skipping your videos because of the 30 seconds adds but now the new bumper adds are available only six seconds big earnings boost... since its the year 2016 ... many of the youtubers are watching videos on there tablet phones so having a bumper add you need to be with a network to have bumper adds since its connected with non skippable.... but good luck i heard networks are scammers... your better off with adsense..

I've been with a network for nearly 5 years with my primary channel. I think I've had enough, as I used next to nothing of the perks offered; so didn't think I was getting any value for the additional cut taken.

so the non skippable adds are not a big hype they dont give you a big earnings boost... you earn more with adsense ? not with a network .
 
@truemoney18 The non-skippable ads might give you a "big earnings boost"; however, you need to balance this against the fact that since you are with a network, your earnings are being "double dipped". Both YouTube and the network are taking a cut of your earnings.

First YouTube takes 45% of your original total, then the network takes whatever its rev split percentage is of what is left. So if the rev split in your contract is 10% you will now be down to less than half of the original total; if 30%, or 40% you will be down even further.

You will always...always, earn more with Adsense alone, than you will with a network; unless that network has such good branding sponsorships or promo offers available, that you make hundreds of dollars from those alone.

For gaming channels networks are sometimes a safer option than going it alone; but many networks will also leave you to fight any copyright strikes or Content ID issues on your own as well. I don't have a gaming channel.
