Interesting. I hadn't seen it before. I will send a message to the creator to see if his content got claimed.

I have seen it in a bunch of videos lately specially on longish videos. This happens to Let's Play and Rooster Teeth.

well I can't imagine people wanting to watch more then the first part after seeing 5 ad's on a video like that haha

Well just the banner ads aren't so bad. They rarely get in the way of the content (much). Now if those were full screen ads that would be a quick turn off for sure.

I've seen it on longer form videos and music compilations...that's pretty ridiculous, I mean even television spaces out the commercials better than that!

You have the option in longer videos to add multiple ads in the monetization tab, though I was thinking they should've been at least 15 minutes long

My recollection is that videos over 10 minutes can have mid-rolls, or allow more ads, every 7 minutes. At 13 minutes, I would expect only one ad in the middle and if they wanted, a post-roll/add at the end.
