Except that second button won’t be there. There’s something weird going on in our economy where the customers can’t actually afford the products but somehow their attention/data is still valuable. I don’t get it
I honestly don’t understand how advertisement is valued to highly.
I have probably seen 1000hrs worth of ads by now and probably spent less than $1000 on the products advertised. But somehow if I want to avoid those ads I have to pay 10x that
Especially on the internet it seems that the strategy is to beat you into submission, waterboarding you with branding until you aren’t capable of doing anything other than buying their product.
I get sick of seeing ads and then black list the company out of spite. And I do that brain surgery with a backhoe. Because of a certain marketing campaign for a Mission: Impossible movie, I’m never paying to see an action movie of any kind ever again. Because they annoyed me too much in 2015 or so. And because of Dr. Squatch, I think when I’m out of my current supply of Dial I’m going to start making my own soap.
And here I am, completely ignoring YT and reading blogs, instead.
Last week I’ve been laughed at for having written a travel blog a decade ago. Fuck you, blogs are hip again! You’re the boomer!
I don’t mean you, you’re probably cool. I mean my colleague who laughed at me.
Honestly , can’t wait for the future where companies like them are allowed to make adless entertainment illegal. It’s going to be the absolute best future we could ever ask for. We should be thankful to our overlords for saving us from never having to see ads ever again. /s
In less than ten years this will be a “nottheonion” headline…
Wait until they require a quiz be taken to prove you watched the video. They could also stitch together the video with the ads, so it’s all a single video. They can make fast-forwarding videos impossible (to stop the sponsorblock stuff). Begun the Ad Wars have.
If technology exists they will 100% implement that ads will keep repeating unless there are people in the room. The active listening devices already record every data they can and it’s only a matter of time before they can accurately conclude if the room is empty or occupied.
I’m really happy to see point #2 being mentioned. From their inception, Youtube established a social contract of providing their videos free to users without ads. I don’t think Google should just be allowed to unilaterally change the contract on behalf of all parties and force it on everyone. If they had a good reason to do so, perhaps I would humor it, but “because of shithead shareholders” does not pass that bar.
Excuse me, bitch, but how the fuck you know I went to piss?
