Unskippable ads before a video have been around for a while (no skip button). It just has been limited to a couple ads. The tweet is claiming this number has increased lately.

My guess is that since unskippable ads could already be a couple minute long, they are testing with shorter ads in that timeframe while still filling up the time block.

This isn’t very interesting without knowing how long the ads run.
