Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer
HisArmsOpen@crust.piefed.social 1 day agoI think you’ve just made my point. If they can all move to USB-C then a few switches at the back end would be far simpler. We just need the gumption to speak out and tell these so-called IT companies what is and isn’t acceptable.

I din’t think you qiite understood what I was trying ti dY
The difference is that companys wont do it by themselves. Each country will have to do their own legislation to mandate this. Even if Europe would do similiar legislation to Vietnam, YouTube would still show full ads in other countries because they make them more money.
Which is quite the difference to hardware mandates like USB-C, where few countries can basically set it as mandatory and the manufacturers will roll it out for all countries because its easier and cheaper to manufacture one model than multiple different versions.

I think you’re misunderstanding. I think what the person above is saying is that if Youtube can go back to skippable ads and not pull out of Vietnam or go bankrupt (lol), then places like the EU or even individual EU countries have more than enough leverage to demand this.
