I think there's no mystery there. Video ads are fewer and cost more and Google needs to present "impressions" to their customers.

So... are you a human? Then this ad might be of interest to you :P

What really gets me, is a lot of the ads I’ve been getting are stuff 50yo “ad tech” would get right. Lately I’ve been getting a womens' clothing brand which appears to only exist in north america. I’m a male in northern europe. A print ad in a national newspaper would do a better job “targetting” than that.

I'm not a video ad buyer, but as a viewer I'd be amazed if I found out that Youtube offers better video ad targeting than TV. And that's ridiculous.
