They really will keep pushing this until it's 1% content, 5% sponsorshit, and the remainder ads that are injected straight into your eyeballs like Pulp Fiction. With a fire hose.
Tried showing some people some YT videos on a "smart TV", instead of my usual uBO+SponsorBlock+BlockTube on a PC. It is fucking awful. It verges on being literally unfuckingusable by being so much of a bitch it's easier to just not watch anything on it.
I have a brilliant idea for YouTube: put porn ads in on your pauses and I bet those eyeballs will watch more ads than content! Everyone wins… except the children…
I was just following a frittata recipe and my teen came in and we had a brief discussion on how overused video already is. In particular how tough it already is to follow a recipe on YouTube. This will make it impossible.
Then again, they don’t care about me since I already don’t watch YouTube, because of how intrusive the ads plus the poor quality of most content. I subscribe to a news service, but I also stopped looking at recipes there as well since they’re effective at blocking print to file and bookmarks die quickly.
Thank you. I read that part, but it doesn’t explain what else happens. It doesn’t really give much details. So no ads all throughout the video until it is paused? Does that add disappear when I resume the video?.. Etc. Like more context would be helpful. Unless that’s the only thing they know?
I unabashedly pirate with adblockers on my computer and alternative apps on mobile. My mobile app stopped working the other day. I just stopped watching youtube on mobile completely. It is not at all worth it to watch ads for even one minute, in my considered opinion.
Yeah, if at any point YouTube succeeds in killing the adblockers, then I’ll just stop watching youtube and only watch the creators that upload to Nebula
