Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.

  And we’ll doom scroll through ads as though they’re shorts, which I guess they are anyway.

    We really are getting all media turned into the radio from Demolition Man.

    If I go to YouTube to watch a trailer for an upcoming movie THAT IS THE AD. I don’t need a different ad (and definitely not 2-3) first. Get your money from the corpos putting the trailer up.

    The Marvel movie Thunderbolts has 4 main trailers on YouTube right now. Those have 9.6, 14, 15, and 21 million views. Marvel/Disney should be paying YouTube for 60m ad impressions. The fee shouldn’t be taken out of my free time.

  now they will just force, you must watch this amount of ads before starting a video, and would try to prevent you from accessing said video with any adblocker.
