Recently heard about ads that make you take a quiz at the end to make sure you were paying attention, we’re not far now…

in a dystopian future, not so distant they will obligate you have a cam connected all times to track your eyes movement to make sure that you saw the ads

You won’t even know they’re ads, it will just implant false childhood memories, giving you positive associations with the brand.

Wow is this a clip from Archie’s Weird Mysteries?? I never thought I’d see that online.

Yes, this was in 1984, the TVs that watch you back.

What kind of ads are in your car besides the radio?
stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I usually don’t watch YouTube on my playstation but yesterday I did and every 10 minutes it played a 2-minute unskippable ad and I simply turned off my TV. 10/10 very effective.
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s been my experience going to some of my friend’s houses. It’s despicable that Google thinks this is acceptable.

Are there way more Australians on Lemmy than I expected, or are people up voting you you of confusion?

I would like to inform you that Canadian gays love 2 shows from Oz; “Kath and Kim”, as well as “Please like me”.

Do you not have to actually use patents to keep them?

I’m gonna patent a robot that uses Deepseek to identify forece-response ads on the telly, and it automatically responds to the ad in lieu of the human.

RESUME VIEWING
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah. Unfortunately. This sounds far too likely.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
That’s when I copy the URL, close the window, and download the video without the ad.
Downie for MacOS or yt-dlp at the command line. When those stop working, and if there’s no alternative, I will stop watching YT videos. I will not be harassed by ads. There’s already more content than I have time to consume.
westyvw@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Why don’t you just use a youtube player that filters the ads out? Seems like extra steps.
AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Maybe they’re archiving them for future viewing incase the video is pulled from YT.

When I’ve tried a couple of them, they were slower or felt unreliable. I’ll give them a shot if my local tools stop working.

On my smart tv i set up the custom picture settings profile with the black level set so the only thing visible is the ad timer counter, and mute the tv.

Any adblocks x smart TV?
saltesc@lemmy.world 1 year ago
SmartTube if it’s an Android TV.
Download and install the APK through Downloader app or USB, only takes a few mins following instructions.
Devs keep it very regularly up to date. SponsorBlock included. Many excellent additional features making it way better at being YouTube than the YouTube app could ever be.

Don’t connect the TV to the internet. Buy a Shield or AppleTV.

My goal is to never buy anything that they ad. I can’t always avoid it, but i largely do.
Baguette@lemm.ee 1 year ago
The only ads Ive watched in the past year were ads from flex seal and tim henson, and those were technically just videos.
If ads were like that I wouldnt mind them as much
Shou@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Press M for mute. Most adds’ sound design is awful.

Robert Rankin’s “Armageddon” trilogy has something like this, where Actively Viewing pays you rehousing credits, so the main character has developed away to sleep with his eyes wide open, as if actually watching the screen.

anyone got a solution for apple tv? found one app but it works through invidious and invidious doesn’t really work anymore. even tried hosting my own at home but nothing :(
DJDarren@thelemmy.club 1 year ago
I ended up manually downloading my subscriptions using Freetube and yt-dlp and throwing them in my Plex server. I don’t watch a huge amount so I’m happy to spend 20 minutes a couple of times a week doing it. There are ways to automate the process but I’ve never been able to wrap my head around it.
casmael@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’ve honestly just switched to screen mirroring my Mac and using Firefox / ublock / etc when I want to watch YouTube on the tv.

Please for the love of God, use uBlock origin and SponsorBlock to skip all of this automatically.
Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
I also highly recommend turning on uBlocks filter list for cookie banners. Works on YTs cookie banner too.

PiHole
ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 1 year ago
Haven’t personally looked at the dev tools too much, but even if they come from the same domain, of the path had a unique pattern when it’s ads vs content you could use a decrypting proxy. I don’t know if the PS4 can install a custom certificate or proxy settings, the intercepted cert would possibly cause problems, but it may be possible.

What are the options for someone watching on a Roku or Firestick?
Turret3857@infosec.pub 1 year ago
Playlet for Roku and Clipious and/or SmartTube for android-TV based devices (fire tv)
synicalx@lemm.ee 1 year ago
DNS-based Adblock like NextDNS (paid service), or PiHole (DIY option). Sadly that won’t skip sponsored segments though, you’ll still have to hear all about whatever scam or wish.com garbage they’ve decided to shill.
amon@lemmy.world 1 year ago

DmMacniel@feddit.org 1 year ago
Please do not use Sponserblock unless you support that creator in some other way; or you just don’t care about them.
jeena@piefed.jeena.net 1 year ago
I'm allergic to advertisement, I'd rather not watch a video at all than watching the ads in it. SponsorBlock for me is just an automation of what I would do anyway pressing forward 5-7 times to jump over this section. I will not buy this stuff anyway it's just a waste of my time. I go even so far that I don't mind paying for YouTube Premium because this removes the advertisement, but there is no way to pay for skipping sponsors automatically other than SponsorBlock.
gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Creators don’t get money for you watching their sponsorship, only if you click through and do something with it
If you don’t plan on interacting with the sponsorship we then blocking it just saves time
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The Tuber already got paid by the sponsor. And sponsors look at click trough and conversion rates not views. If I’m not going to buy what they are selling me I might as well skip the ad.
kipo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
If you want to support a creator, give them a quarter and block the ads. Seriously. That quarter is worth more than any ad revenue they will ever get from you watching their videos.
grue@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Please do not try to shame people for exercising their property rights (i.e. their right to control what their computer displays, or doesn’t display).
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I legit hate this take. YT was started as a way for everyone to share videos with each other, not be a corporate pusher for those that want to ‘go big’. The fact that YT even offered profit sharing is awful.
Yeah, go ahead and support who you like. But don’t sit there and be like “you’re hurting them if you don’t pay them and you don’t want their bullshit ads”. Get the fuck out of here with that shit. “creators” who “make a living” from YT are the reason YT is a cesspool of dogshit now. If you aren’t on YT because of a genuine desire to simply share videos, without expecting monitary kickbacks to support your life, gtfo. The support should come naturally through other avenues.
Voyajer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How dare you block all of the ads instead of only some of them
synicalx@lemm.ee 1 year ago
They either get paid by the click, or paid upfront if they’re big enough. Me watching them recite the marketing material for Raid, Nord, Raycon, Better Help, or any other scam/landfill they’ve chosen to sell doesn’t affect them financially.
pyre@lemmy.world 1 year ago
sponsorblock lets you unskip things so you can watch any sponsor you like. it also helps skip all sorts of non content, not just ads so it’s useful either way. you can set it to auto skip, no skip, manual skip prompt, only marked for any type of content (intro, intermission, filler, sponsor etc) not using it is just stupid.
with all that said, I don’t think sponsorblock affects creators at all. I highly doubt sponsors look at how much specific sections of a video has been watched. they only care about how popular a creator is, who their audience is and what they say during the sponsored section.
even if they decide whether to continue sponsoring based on how well the previous sponsored video did, the important metric would be the view count of the video, not how many people watched or skipped an ad section specifically.
if that were important creators wouldn’t split their sponsored sections in time codes they provide because they know it’s an easy skip. more importantly regardless of the creators, the sponsors would simply ask not to do it as part of the agreement. (inb4 legal requirement: I’m not talking about disclosure; I’m talking time codes specifically)
