Hey black mirror had this where they had to watch an ad and looking away was illegal. We’re getting there with Google and their recent and announced YouTube and Chrome changes.
“Please drink verification can”
Boy this greentext really ages like fine wine huh
It really does. This person saw where things were heading way back in 2013 (I think?)
Jokes on them. I can be looking straight at something and still not be paying attention.

“Picture yourself holding the product and smiling”
“Now picture yourself recommending the product to friends and family.”
I just threw up in my mouth. A lot.
But I literally can’t picture things in my head… Guess I’m forever stuck on the ad
If the tech ever works and someone suggests I get it I will give them a free ice pick lobotomy.
Watching the ad instead of clicking it constitutes a violation of YouTube terms of service.
You know you’ve really made it as a meme when u/the_picard_maneuver posts you on lemmy. Love you bud hope you’re doing well x
Hey, is this yours?! I thought it was hilarious.
Also <3
Haha unfortunately not - I wish I was this funny. First time I saw it, it needed a lot more jpeg so glad to see it’s been renovated. Meme of the month at least imo.
You wouldn’t steal a car, would you?
You wouldn’t steal a baby.
You wouldn’t shoot a policeman, and then steal his helmet.
You wouldn’t go to the toilet in his helmet.
And then send it to the policeman’s grieving widow…And then steal it again!
And shoot the widow!
Yes.
Yes I would.
Except that second button won’t be there. There’s something weird going on in our economy where the customers can’t actually afford the products but somehow their attention/data is still valuable. I don’t get it
I honestly don’t understand how advertisement is valued to highly.
I have probably seen 1000hrs worth of ads by now and probably spent less than $1000 on the products advertised. But somehow if I want to avoid those ads I have to pay 10x that
Especially on the internet it seems that the strategy is to beat you into submission, waterboarding you with branding until you aren’t capable of doing anything other than buying their product.
I get sick of seeing ads and then black list the company out of spite. And I do that brain surgery with a backhoe. Because of a certain marketing campaign for a Mission: Impossible movie, I’m never paying to see an action movie of any kind ever again. Because they annoyed me too much in 2015 or so. And because of Dr. Squatch, I think when I’m out of my current supply of Dial I’m going to start making my own soap.
Once a brand makes it onto my blacklist it doesn’t matter how much advertisement I see for it.
HP can spend $1m on ads and force me to watch them but I’ll never spend a dollar on them.
Adobe, Dell, and many more have made my list.
LIkewise. Dell has 100% made my list.
And here I am, completely ignoring YT and reading blogs, instead.
I’m more and more moving to podcasts and blogs as well.
Last week I’ve been laughed at for having written a travel blog a decade ago. Fuck you, blogs are hip again! You’re the boomer!
I don’t mean you, you’re probably cool. I mean my colleague who laughed at me.

mmmm that really hit the spot
Now I gotta piss.
Wait until they require a quiz be taken to prove you watched the video. They could also stitch together the video with the ads, so it’s all a single video. They can make fast-forwarding videos impossible (to stop the sponsorblock stuff). Begun the Ad Wars have.
Didn’t YouTube literally do this with the question ads a few years ago? That’s when I decided I would NEVER be nice to advertisers. They’re selling my time for money, not giving me the money, and now they’re rude about it. 110% fuuuuuuck them.
I usually eithe rjust let the timer run out on those or submit bad data
Same, but the mere demand for attention was enough. Now, if I see an ad, I’ll make a script sit there and spend five minutes force-loading their pages to eat their bandwidth right back. They will lose money for every ad I see. Fuck them all.
Just so you know, they already lost money when you clicked on the ad.
I want them to lose a tangible amount. Showing me one ad will cost them the same as showing others hundreds of thousands.
Piped 💪
This reminds me of the very real patent that exists for a television that requires you to stand up from your couch, raise your hands in the air, and shout the name of the product you just watched an ad for before it lets you return to watching your program.
The day they successfully implement that and I pass by someone actually doing it, I will promptly fall to the ground and die
I just found this and I’ve been loving it, works really well.

Excuse me, bitch, but how the fuck you know I went to piss? That’s a violation of my privacy.
You joke but wasn’t the sound of a zipper activating google home at one point?
Why is THAT the line for your privacy? I’d take them knowing my piss schedule over literally all of the other private information they have access to.
See u just are inhouse premium google calender, to schedule peeing. So that way you can go back to WATCHING MORE ADS :D
