Nobody using auto ads with in-article ads?

I use it but I hard code in-article ads midway through each article so I'm no help.

I have auto ads set, too, but have never seen adsense input in-article, or any other ads, between the paragraphs of long or short articles on its own. For my site it tends to favor between divs rather than in them.

I'm surprised nobody else gave autoads in-article feature a shot?

In-feed and in-article are two different things. I use the in-article ads but I wasn't clicking on this initially because I don't use feeds, which is what your title is asking about.

I use in-article ads on a number of sites. I like that it just magically does it's thing. I see some articles where I don't see ads until a few pages down (scrolling) and other times where it's every 2-3 paragraphs for a while. I haven't figured out what they are thinking but I like how you set it and forget it, and in theory over time it should get smarter.

I also use Ezoic which is kind or similar but not quite the same... Taking the A/B testing out of things should yield better results.

AdSense says you can either replace your ads with auto ads, or add it as an extra to go along with other ad placements.

I did a google search on reviews and people are turning off inarticle autoads as the placement seems to spoil the page layout?

I don't use Google for search. I dunno, I don't see a problem with the ads on my page layout, it usually shows up as a page-width ad block in between paragraphs so it does not mess up my design.

Hmm.. maybe I'll check it out and give it a shot!
