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.

I am used to listening to streams while walking, but I’ve been noticing the most annoying ads pop-up when I’m interested in something they are saying. This isn’t going to make me pay attention to those ads, it’s going to drive me to the plethora of other services I can use. The worst thing about it is that it doesn’t even pause and cache the stream, meaning that if I was listening to something interesting, the ad just causes me to miss it. Google just keeps eating its own tail.
