The length a video had to be before it got midroll ads shoved in it, so the "just over 20 minute" videos were creators essentially opting-in to midroll ads (and the extra revenue)
Of course these days, youtube will happily shovel 2 sets of midroll ads into a 6 minute video whether you like it or not.
I tried to watch something without adblock recently, and I swear there were more minutes of unskippable ads than there were actual uploaded content

So the slop content creators all tend to put out videos just over 8mins long.

…if nine out of ten of the ads I’ve seen recently weren’t for that fucking Sonic the Hedgehog film.

I'd forgotten there were ads on Youtube until I tried using it on a Fire Stick.
My. God. Never again.
