People with ADHD will never make it through an ad.
This comment hit me like a gut punch of dread.
And now I'll think about it for years.
*Ad 1 of 3.
“Let’s work together and put an end to attention theft.”
The term "attention theft" is some dystopian shit, and just probable enough to make me vomit in my mouth.
Attention theft is an existing term, though it's used to describe bad practices by marketers. I suppose it's bad that the term has had to come into existence, but it is good that it exists as a way to talk about bad practices more easily.
I remember a time before YouTube...it sounds like I will be living that time again
When Vanced went down, and before ReVanced came out, I had stopped using YT. The ads are unbearable.
So I know what I'd do.
Oh youtube was great. It went downhill super fast when people made money on youtube.
That's why I watch YouTube with NewPipe on my phone and Firefox + uBlock origin on my laptop.
Btw NewPipe recently got an update that fixed all bugs I've ever noticed
How many people would be unable to use youtube because they have a broken camera or dont want youtube to access their camera
They can always buy Premium for 299.95 per month.
YouTube requires these permissions, please enable them to continue
it would just completely fail to recognize certain facial features, and there'd be jack shit people could do about it.
Why not give credit to the artist?

Why track you when they can make you be unable to look away?

"There will now be a short questionnaire on the ad you watched to see if you actually listened to it. If you get below 90%, we will show two minutes of ads."
A Russian video hosting Rutube (which was totally dead until the govt decided to detract Russians from using YouTube, which made the platform semi-dead) actually tried to do that, having a quiz after each ad break, asking questions such as "what TV channel has been advertised in this ad?" and repeating the ad video if answered wrong
Please don’t give them any ideas
Sony literally has a patent on something very similar to this already lol
I remember there being some Android phone (some generation of Samsung Galaxy S series probably) with a "feature" where it pauses video playback if you look away from it. Good thing it didn't catch on.
See, I have no doubt they would if they could, but i doubt such things are actually feasible.
Like right now I just refresh the page to skip ads on my phone.
Camera eye-trackers exist
Hell, phones have them built in. Your iPhone literally knows not to dim the screen if it can see that your eyes are looking at it.
How to make me lose interest in whatever I was about to watch 101
I can't be arsed to modify a gravestone with youtube logo on it, but that's what it would look like to me if they pulled that off.
Just bye, good luck.
I'm already surprised how people fell into the short content trap/addiction loop. That in itself was a eye opener for me to take a step back.
This will be the death of YouTube for me. I pay for YouTube premium so this day may never come for me.
That didn't keep Amazon from adding ads to the paid version of Prime and making a higher paid tier. How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?
Unrelated, but seeing "2025," my first thought was "haha that's so far in the future". Jesus, for something that's six months away, that's a futuristic ass sounding date
Just stick a photo of yourself on the camera
Our machine learning model found out that you were not actually listening to the ad. The ad will now repeat until you click it and buy the product.
People still running content blockers and piping video links in 2025: "You guys are still watching ads?"
Here's how this is going to happen:
- Someone rolls out this technology, everyone of course, fucking hates it, especially since a lot of people have Youtube videos on for background noise.
- Someone else uses this tech for shock value, perhaps a company putting something horrific that people can't look away from as a misguided way to get the ad in people's heads.
- These incidents lead to either the US, EU or China getting up in arms and banning the tech.
Funny stuff, but in reality I hope they realize that if all the free users leave, that could get a lot of content creators to branch out, and they could also take the paid users with them.
I pay for premium because I watch YouTube all the time, multiple people in my house watch it on multiple devices, and we even get use out of YouTube music. It’s worth more to me than all other streaming services combined. But I’m there for all the creators and the content they put out, not for anything else unique about the YouTube experience. All they have on their side is install base, infrastructure cost, and inertia. Those are big things to overcome, but if they drive enough people away things could definitely change.
They won't do this. They can't even force you to watch every ad. Reloading the video after the first ad plays will skip the rest of the ads.
