YouTube first spoke about pause ads last year when it started trialing them in select regions. At the time, the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it.
“In Q1, we saw strong traction from the introduction of a pause ads pilot on connected TVs, a new non-interruptive ad format that appears when users pause their organic content,” Schindler noted. He went on to share that YouTube’s pause ads are “driving strong brand lift results” and “are commanding premium pricing from advertisers.”
Schindler didn’t share any timelines for when pause ads will start appearing on YouTube, but we know they’ll first roll out on smart TVs. The nature of these ads, including their duration, skippability, and more is still unclear. We also don’t know if Google plans to introduce these ads on YouTube’s mobile apps.
Ownership of content on the internet has been debated for literally 40 years at this point… both in court and out of court. This is why ToS’ exist. It is a solved problem. Once again, the only thing that is novel is the federation factor here… but considering you must hand out distribution rights to your content to all the servers you interact with for federation to even work… and rights to modify your contents for the sake of moderation… You’ve already handed out more rights than your license claims.
LMFAO. The only thing you’d see recently is about cameras… On someone else’s property (in the hypothetical, my own property). There is no right to privacy in that case. You can’t defend a right you didn’t have. A persons right to their own property supersedes any right to privacy you believe you have. I’m actually a huge proponent of “privacy” in the sense of not giving away your content to others. Thus why I have 400TB of storage at home. I don’t rely on google or other mega-corps to store my content. Which is exactly why I run my own lemmy instance as such an example. I’m a huge proponent of privacy in that context, but by means of simply not giving away licenses to private things. Your and my right to privacy does not override someone else’s rights to their property. Which coincidentally includes the fact that your content is on my server which is my property under my control. Who owns your post? You do. However you published it to my platform, which grants me rights to that content regardless of what the content itself is and certainly not under your conditions without my consent.
