Ad pauses until your eye tracking shows you are engaging with the Ad. (The future)
RESUME VIEWING
Yeah. Unfortunately. This sounds far too likely.
Look at moi, look at moi, look at mooooi
I've got one thing to way to you
Ublock origin
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
Literally with any ad nowadays. I immediately tune out all my sensory organs
Damn even your genitals??
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
Yes, this was in 1984, the TVs that watch you back.
Neuralink beaming unskippable ads into your head
Unlock your long term memory for $696.90 a month!
You're describing ADHD meds
You won't even know they're ads, it will just implant false childhood memories, giving you positive associations with the brand.
Strawberry Mansion movie had something like this
wait what this is real
Wow is this a clip from Archie's Weird Mysteries?? I never thought I'd see that online.
🏴☠️
Cars already have this. It will be in tvs in no time
What kind of ads are in your car besides the radio?
w...wait , really?
Not for ads but for looking forward if you take your eyes off the road it cancels the auto drive. They can apply it to looking at ads very easily
ford just filed a patent for an idea similar to this but I'm not sure if its in production yet or if OP is talking about Something else.
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.
Why don't you just use a youtube player that filters the ads out? Seems like extra steps.
you know freetube/invidious/piped/materialious/tubo/grayjay exist right?
Please for the love of God, use uBlock origin and SponsorBlock to skip all of this automatically.
What are the options for someone watching on a Roku or Firestick?
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.

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.
That's been my experience going to some of my friend's houses. It's despicable that Google thinks this is acceptable.
I swear I don't understand how people without adblock can stand any website these days...
Drink the verification can
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...

Press M for mute. Most adds' sound design is awful.
