YouTube has always been pretty good about their ad policy. I’ve noticed they’ve gotten somewhat sleazier in recent days. You can’t skip ads as much as you used to, and they now have longer “mandatory” (i.e. unskippable) ads.
Could be another indication of trouble at the Googleplex.
The same viewer profiling technology that connects high-end content ads to high-end viewers can also be used to find large populations of easily scammable dummies.
Political implications here.
Youtube won’t let me watch their videos on Google Chrome unless I disable my ad blocker or subscribe to their paid service. I can still get it on the Microsoft browser.
I don’t know what ‘high-quality abstraction capability’ is, or why it means better web searches. Oy vey! Maybe I need to put that into ChatGPT to get an answer.
