The next thing after DRM will be ARM (Attention Rights Management). The camera will be used to verify that you are paying attention to the ads, otherwise no content for you.
I'm not the only one with youtube problems then 😂

Youtube already has ARM! If you watch a playlist and go AFK youll get a “are you still watching?” message
BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I completely agree. That being said, it could be pretty easily argued that they want to save on server costs or something about model training accuracy on your watch history degrading due to you not deciding what to watch
Techmaster@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Or they just make you take a quiz after the ad. If you get any questions wrong, then you have to watch another ad.

The scary part of what you just said is how I esealy see one of those corpos reading your comment and thinking “good idea why didn’t I think of that”.

Ads aren’t DRM.

If anyone runs into this popup, make sure your uBlock Origin is up-to-date, and that you don’t have any other adblock extensions installed (disable the one in Enhancer for YouTube as well). Then, make sure you clear your filter lists’ cache in uBlock, and update them. This should allow you to block the popup. If it comes back again after a few days, repeat.

did you read the post
Moxvallix@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
I did. Just thought I’d pop this here anyways, especially given the title.

That works for AD block, but the cam block is the issue.

Install unlock origin extreme! They now use quantum computers to break YouTube’s DRM locks and allows free content!

If they can figure out how to enable the camera on my cameraless pc, that’s just impressive.
I don’t even use a proper monitor I use a 6 year old budget tv screen. I see no camera lens on that thing.

It’s not about a camera, but I have read something about using a hard drive as a microphone by detecting the vibrations of the head. Here is a short article I found about this: hackaday.com/…/hackers-turn-hard-drive-into-micro…

The article makes it sound like it doesn’t really work

That’s it! You’ve done it now…! 😂

Why have three monitors when you can have one giant screen

I just made a post similar to this, a bit better editing. But my joke wasn’t as funny.
DaCookeyMonsta@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Without the cam how is YouTube supposed to know you are drinking your verification can?

Sounds like somebody isn’t using their health insurance mandated Google© 3-in-1 glucose, stool, and sleep monitor.
