    Company PR wage slaves are forced to give companies personality online to make them appear relatable and hip with the kids

    Don’t fall for that bullshit

    None, because seeing a four minute unskippable ad halfway through a two minute video would make me go apoplectic.

        Haven’t you been following the news? It will soon.

          And soon probably everywhere unless you pay, because YouTube is testing server side ad injection, so they’d be part of the main video stream.

                Forever, this isn’t some miraculous new magical advertising method, it’ll be blocked before it is even pushed out to everyone

            Not from the US but I’m pretty sure the ftc requires ads be disclosed and if the company isn’t doing it you have to report it to the ftc for some stupid reason if I recall correctly

            So iirc that might be a legal loophole which allows adblockers to work

              They can definitely inject the ad into the video stream on the server side and still correctly classify it as ad. Some other platforms already do that. From my own experience, many podcasts monetize like that. The ads get injected by their distributors. Leads to German ads before English speaking podcasts, if you stream them from Germany. However, their ads are skippable. Wouldn’t be surprised if YouTube somehow made that impossible, too.

              I can’t see how they will not be able to properly disclose the ad, they will just do that without breaking a videostream, and in a most machine unfriendly way they can come up with. It’s going to be like captcha but saying “this is an ad”

          It’s been about a year since I had an ad on mobile. It takes about a minute to set it up so you don’t see them.

          I was being a smart ass, but it was a lead in to let you know you have the option to be ad free.

          I haven’t seen a YouTube ad on my phone since about 2021, thanks to the magic of Vanced and later ReVanced. Sounds like a skill issue on your end ngl

      What the hell makes you think YouTube employees have to watch the ads themselves?

        Some definitely have, as they test and implement it. But the point was that the user stopped watching YT because of ads, not that YT will not

    It would be great to link them to a youtube videos with just ads. Cause you know you go in youtube to watch ads not content

      It’s also ironic that on a rare occasion of happening upon an interesting ad that I want to rewatch, there’s no fuckıng way to do it, I can’t even rewind it or get a link to it
