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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
Piped 💪
Drink verification can?
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?
See u just are inhouse premium google calender, to schedule peeing. So that way you can go back to WATCHING MORE ADS :D
-GOOGLE
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.
I just found this and I’ve been loving it, works really well.
I keep telling you YouTube I have a cloaca and I’m not sure what to call it when I go
