Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish
TechAnon@lemm.ee 11 months agoThat’s a good idea. Another one that may be effective is Google has AI process the video and they drop links in the text below the video based on company $. For example, Cool Shirts Inc. gives ad money to Google for their t-shirts. AI processes all new videos and checks for Cool Shirt Inc shirts. If the video has the shirt in it then this is added in text below the video, “Dig the creator’s shirt? Get it here for: link.to.shirt.com/buynow”. Non-intrusive, fairly good targeting and if I do like something in the video I can check there to purchase or look into it more.

I really like this idea. That would be such a step up from the way most ads are done now, and much less annoying. It would also be pretty effective I would think, because a lot of people use YouTube to learn more about their hobbies. So by putting ads for the products actually used in the video, it is automatically advertising to the perfect demographic of people who are much more likely use those products.
