Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Youtube Getting Worse Again”.
The original articles here from ARS Technica and Google support actually Google is rolling out its new privacy sandbox for the web, a user tracking ad platform, that’s baked into Chrome that uses the information collected through the browser to inform websites. What topic the user is interested in. For the purpose of targeted ads, the feature is apparently intended to one day replace third-party cookies wow. Let’S, let’s put more power in the Google Monopoly. What do you think seemed like a good idea? It seems like a good idea. S I feel like.
I have to say that no, it’s probably not best yeah yeah. I know uh users will now see a pop-up asking them to turn on and add privacy feature that will give them more Choice over the ads they see while protecting their browser, history and identity. While the pop-up does note that users can make changes in Chrome settings, it doesn’t clarify that the feature can be opted out of and clicking that the highlighted got it at the bottom of the page enables it by default.
Other users have reported speaking of dark patterns. Other users have reported seeing a version that makes the option to opt out explicit, but it’s unclear if this is in response to criticism of the initial pop-up or if it’s a regional difference in areas that have more stringent legal standards, got it like this first one Is extremely dark pattern uh here well here we can actually show it uh. This is what it looks like it’s rough enhanced ad privacy in Chrome, blah blah blah blah blah blah got it. I I guarantee you. The vast majority of people are gon na go like. Oh some weird uh update, okay got it. I want to go to my honestly, my Facebook or whatever it is like yep yeah uh.
This is the other version by the way, which makes way more sense. Yep. Meanwhile, um oh yeah, so I don’t know, there’s not really much discussion here that bad meanwhile YouTube will be altering creators ad controls in November by removing individual ad controls in YouTube studio for pre-roll, post role, skippable and non-skippable ads on new videos and instead making them A single toggle on or off interesting according to YouTube, oh man, I love it when companies provide this rationale for changing the granularity of your options as a user according to YouTube.
Ninety percent of creators already have these okay. This says off by default, but I suspect that is not right. I suspect they mean on by default.
Ninety percent of creators already have these set this way by default. That’S what I’m assuming this says and some found the options confusing you got, ta love that that sum some creators didn’t like the thumbs down feature, so we can remove it. We have basically infinite creators, so there will always be some group of people that think something, and therefore we can do anything that we want.
All it takes is point zero, zero, zero, zero, zero one percent of creators to find something confusing um and some creators will find it confusing mid-roll ads, however, will still be fully controlled by creators. For now I added for now, but honestly, the the way this slippery slope is sliding really does feel. Like a for now further YouTube says, creators will be able to choose to have automated mid-roll ad breaks or manually selected ones – uh, oh and manually, selected ones, rather than choosing one or the other okay, so some context for you guys the way that it works. Now you choose to just let YouTube pick where to put mid-rolls based on where it doesn’t disrupt user retention or more likely where it makes sense for the amount of time it’s been, since that individual user has seen a mid-roll because they they try not to they. Try to ride the exact line between what you will tolerate and what will make you exit the app right. So if someone goes from a video where YouTube chose the mid-roll spots – and there happened to be two in the latter half or something like that, and then they click on a video where the user picked the mid-roll spots and they happen to have a couple front.
Loaded, they could end up accidentally overloading someone, but in spite of that potential issue, they are now giving better control over mid-rolls. So you can basically go well. I definitely want one here, but also you can put them anywhere else. You feel, like my understanding, is most creators do use the automated mid-roll breaks as opposed to the manually selected ones, but um very important content pacing which might want to frame it yeah. I think mostly though Mr Beast uses automated ones. The last time I heard about it, and so basically whatever he does – is kind of the meta.
What everyone’s gon na do yeah um, apparently apparently he’s like trying thumbnails, where he doesn’t have his mouth open or something and like he saw some positive results from that. So, hey, maybe that’s, maybe that’s new meta as well, is no more no more YouTuber face or he’s still got his like lips open, but he’s like if you look back like the last six videos or something like that, he’s smiling like this in all of them. Instead of like that, I’m sure it looks like like almost like AI generated face. If Mr Beast, I hear I can I switch over to your laptop yeah. If Mr Beast jumped off a bridge, I really do think that a lot of other people would do it. Let’S just do it with him: yeah, oh geez! What’S that oh geez, oh geez, the zoom, the zoom is not happy wow we’re gon na end it do you even compute.
Well, the the touch screen is the touch we won’t be making that shirt anytime. Soon, though, but yeah some something about the the thumbnails uh his face looks very edited. This is great um if in 724 and float plane chat, says spoke too soon. That is not better, so I didn’t see their original comment, but I guess they were saying. Oh, this will be a big Improvement. Yeah.
Okay, we’re back to your laptop. I don’t know: okay can anyone’s teeth, actually be that white. That’S that’s kind of what I’m saying like it it.
It almost looks like a really really good. Sims model can’t deny that it works, so something is being edited there, literally anywhere from 100 to 200 million views per video. I mean who else can do that if that smile could get me, 100 million views for I’ll smell. Like that all right I mean I tried, I didn’t do as good of a job, I’m not as young as him. Unfortunately, and now we need to photo edit, you look yeah, I generated yeah.
Like almost does it has I don’t. I don’t know what it is and like I’ve, I’ve obviously seen him so like I’m not saying he looks like that. I’M just like these. Now he looks like a pretty pretty normal dude yeah and then these they just something’s different.
I don’t know what it is. .
