Dailymoition still exists at least.
And Peertube.

Time to pedal harder!
I like how much the design resembles YouTube’s design. I would believe it if I didn’t know about the state of mobile phones.
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
Them existing and Google being able to enforce people turn them on, and consistently blocking everyone who doesn’t, is a whole other problem that is a lot more complex.
This is why it’s dangerous that YouTube’s company als makes Android.
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.
This isn’t exposed to the apps, however. Yet…
This is the primary reason I switched to iPhone. At least Apple’s business model is rooted in selling me overpriced gadgets rather than selling me.
I think some vr headsets have them so it’s not like you need a huge package either cus it’s 95% screen
It’s entirely feasible.
Amazon had full head tracking, including gaze, in the Fire Phone a decade ago.
I mean, it’s technically feasible, just not practically feasible, like flying cars.
It’s practically feasible, just not yet deemed profitable enough to do.
Flying cars are not practically feasible.
It’s not practically feasible because people will find ways around it. The app can require an eye tracking features to be turned on, but people will go to the browser site. If they get the people making a browser to integrate it, then people will use another browser. They’d have to block access on any mobile browser that doesn’t enforce it, and that’s a futile effort.
At least on IOS, they tried to lock Picture in Picture and background play behind a paywall, but that only worked in the app, and both features still work for the mobile site with a bit of fussing. Just because they implement restrictions and features doesn’t mean they can actually get them to work enough that people won’t glitch around them.
They could.
Default is 60s ad block. However, enabling ‘Regular User’ feature will bring this down to a more convenient 15s block so you get your content faster every time. To enable this feature, tap Allow when prompted for camera permissions.
I remember playing with a similar feature on my Galaxy S3 back in the day. Eye scrolling. The phone would scroll for you when it sensed you looking at the bottom of the screen. That was the S3. It was not perfect but very usable. My hands always felt faster so I never kept it on but it was a fun thing to play with. I’m sure the only thing stopping them is the fear of backlash. We’ll get there in time I’m sure :/
The tech exist but enforcing that people use it is another matter. They cannot even properly paywall Picture in Picture and background play on IOS.
“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.”
“Why are you leaving? Fill out this survey and let us know what you didn’t like. Please enter your email. Before you go, 50% of YouTube Plus Ultimate!”
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
And I bet they’ve been wondering why people don’t use that platform
To be serious, nobody would use that platform even there hadn’t been any ads, because competing with YouTube is not an easy fit.
I should probably be happy that Rutube and VK Video gain popularity as the regional alternatives to the monopolist which gets more aggressive each day… if not that popularity has just been inflated by bought-out bloggers and comics from Putin’s oligarch owned channels like TNT being directed to cease their YouTube presence, just so the government could have their own “YouTube without team Navalny”.
but yeah, being more shitty than YouTube at delivering ads is not an easy fit, too!
Don’t give them even more ideas…
Unrelated, but seeing “2025,” my first thought was "haha that’s so far I the future. Jesus, for something that’s six months away, that’s a futuristic ass sounding date
In the year 2025
if man is still alive
if woman can survive…Great movie.
Just stick a photo of yourself on the camera
They just use face ID tech
Wouldnt they have to support most cameras so people can use youtube? Is there any way to detect a face in a good way on a bad 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.

It tastes like grape Kool aid

Why not give credit to the artist?
Soren Iverson https://www.instagram.com/soren.iverson?igsh=eGd3d3N5dzc0ZDYy
They may have had it past on through a billion people before they posted it here… Is the most likely answer.
Thanks for sourcing it though!
Maybe, Soren only posted it for the first time 13 hours ago tho…
I found this on Twitter and didn’t know who made it, but thanks! They’re credited now :)
Credit where it’s due indeed. This also reminds me of Black Mirror, I think it was season 1 with the talent show auditions.

I’ll shift to peertube for good once I can afford my own server
User experience approaching something like the Clockwork Orange - Movie Theatre Scene, with eyes forced open to watch horror with Beethoven music in the back ground.
Just cranking up the volume so loud you can’t hear yourself think.
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.
Just wait until the enshitification of premium because they’ve fleeced the free users as much as they can.
This will be the death of YouTube for me. I pay for YouTube premium so this day may never come for me.
You never know, they might produce a YouTube Premium Plus plan or something.
Again it would be dead to me if it happened. I wouldn’t pay more for what I get now.
You never know, streaming happened like that
And that’s why I don’t pay for steaming services, I buy DVDs and put them on my server. Don’t ask me what happens when I can’t buy a DVD/blueray.
Empty words, you would pay them whatever they demand of you, and you know it.
Nah, I have my limits. I have a movie server and most of my favorite shows, I’m gonna be fine.
What about 1 BILLION DOLLARS ?
I pay for YouTube premium
Not as bad as paying for Twitter, but close.
The biggest reason I pay for it is supposedly creators I watch get paid significantly more than someone who sits through ads without skipping. I also don’t really watch regular TV.
supposedly creators I watch get paid
I mean, that’s why I’m on Patreon. But fuck YouTube.
Yeah, I know it’s not an excuse but I’m lazy and this guarantees even the individuals I watch irregularly gets their share. I’ve heard it even pays out if it’s demonetized (don’t take my word on that one though.)
I know it’s not an excuse
Your heart is in the right place. YouTube’s just isn’t.
There’s dozens of us. Dozens!
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?
And when that happened I stoped watching prime and just put on my eye patch & tricorn 🏴☠️…
Though I’m still paying for the content I just watch it differently than intended 🤷♂️
Seeks like a bunch of us chose to do the same. These companies actually believe there is no end to what they think they’re entitled .
How much easier is it for Google to implement the same?
The correct question is actually “when will Google implement the same?” Because this is a “when will it happen” question, not a “will it happen” question.
