I just got this email. What do you guys think? Is anyone going to loose money from this?

We're writing to let you know that we'll be retiring AdSense video units at the
end of April. After reviewing this feature, we've found that it hasn't been
performing as well as we had hoped, so we've decided to focus our efforts on
other opportunities to help publishers monetize their sites.

We recommend that you begin removing the video unit code from your pages as soon
as possible, to ensure that you can take advantage of the available ad space on
your pages. At the end of April, any remaining Leaderboard or Skyscraper video
units will begin directing users to YouTube.com, while other video unit sizes
will automatically be changed to standard embedded YouTube players. These
standard video players will display top YouTube videos, but you won't generate
earnings from them once this change occurs.

If you'd still like to display free video content from YouTube, you can do so
through YouTube.com directly: visit any specific video page for the embed code,
or sign in to your YouTube account to create a playlist. For more information
about embedding YouTube videos, please visit http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=57788.
Alternatively, if you have less than three ad units on your page, you may prefer
to replace your video unit with a regular ad unit.

Although video units are being retired, other video offerings within AdSense
aren't affected. Video ads may still appear on your pages and AdSense for video
is still available for eligible publishers. If you'd like more information about
the retiring of video units, please visit our Help Center at
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=12182.

Thanks for your support of video units in the past, and we appreciate your
patience and cooperation.

I recently saw this article on another site but forgot where.. Seems like this medium just wasn't paying off. I myself never got into the video portion, and now after seeing this I'm glad I didn't.

Good find!

There was not any earning from video ads and it was wasting space on site. Thanks google to stop video ads.
