I have actual skeletons in my closet
If you would have told 90s me that I'd have the world's music at my fingertips, in exchange for seeing ads, I would have clicked my heels with joy.

Product placement is the type of advert that always seems to have affected me the most. I scoff at commercials with dumb jingles and slogans, but when I see someone buy a Pepsi in a movie I sometimes catch myself going "Man I could go for a Pepsi now that I think about it"

If the Truman Show were real it would be like, a bigger ad market than the Super Bowl

brainwashing is a bit hyperbolic but i don't know what to say to you if you don't think that the more you get exposed to ads, the more inclined you are to buy the thing presented in the ad

Even though I’m a YT Premium user, I feel like my time is coming where suddenly $14 isn’t enough to prevent ads and this will be the ad lite tier or something.

Why would you pay $14 for that... especially before this ad-blocker-blocker poo poo?

Just installed opera, turned on the default ad blocker went to youtube without signing in and no ad's or messages, or pauses before a video starts. Playlists works as well.

Have firefox open and can check if any of the channels I'm subscribe to add anything new. Copy and paste title into opera. Bit of extra effort, but only a couple of seconds to C+P and alt tab. :shrug:

It’ll honestly be much easier to jump through the hoops to subscribe to YouTube Premium at the Argentine price of US$2 than to do this incognito or alternate browser poo poo. $2 is nothing.

Also, stupid question but is there a way to make a YouTube channel vile enough that no advertiser wants ads on it, but not so vile that it violates TOS?

edit: Maybe if your whole channel was devoted to talking poo poo about the last ad that ran on it?

There's probably just a whole bunch of advertises that simply don't care, as long as they're getting some sort of eyeballs. Think about all that scammy poo poo that's still advertising on twitter, click bait bullshit type stuff.

Netflix reports a huge bump in subscribers after limiting account sharing and adding ads for lower tier subscriptions and the bump was much bigger than they expected. Their stock is soaring.

Prepare for more enshitification everywhere cause enshitification is working out really well for the stock holders

drat I guess people will just have to Google "watch [show] free" and click a link to start streaming it instead.

There was a brief moment where streaming was more convenient than illegal streaming sites but now the illegal ones actually have to compete with each other on better interfaces since they all have the same all content. They're better than paid streaming sites now

Not really. A logo is part of branding which is part of the overall marketing strategy for a product. It basically serves as a short form ad wherever that product is located. Obviously the logo doesn't include other things that go in traditional ads (music, jingles, movement), but the ads are used to associate the logo with that other stuff. How many times did you see a logo and a jingle started playing in your head? Probably more than you realize.

You can also say that a logo is an ad for the product in market shelves. In a sea of samey products on a shelf, the first differentiator is the logo.
