I do too, if my audience are anything like me then I just think "cant be bothered" when I see non skippable ads

How are doing that? Are you with a network?
I'm with adsense and you can't actually pick and choose whether you have non-skippable. It is out of the creator's control I believe. - In the monetization tab, by unchecking the "Skippable video ads" checkbox, that doesn't mean that the ads will then be skippable. It's kind of ambiguous I agree, but that is my understanding at least.

No network. I'm with adsense too but there is a check box for non-skippable adds available in the monetzation section on youtube, at least on mine :/

Ah ok, that's probably due to my location. I've just checked support and it's something that I can request to be added to my account.
I'd enable the ads on videos which would be in high demand and fulfilling a strong need. A truly unique viral video would be good or maybe an educational video where the information within the video would have a high perceived value. Channels which get a lot of sub views would be good too because they already know the channel (and are more likely to sit through the ad). But a "normalish", not very unique topic video that gets a lot of views from new viewers (they don't know you) would probably not work out very well. If I were you, I'd test it for a few weeks and compare metrics. It might be worth enabling for the months of November and/or December where the extra $$ would probably offset any drop in views you might experience.
