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.
Same, but the mere demand for attention was enough. Now, if I see an ad, I’ll make a script sit there and spend five minutes force-loading their pages to eat their bandwidth right back. They will lose money for every ad I see. Fuck them all.
This is an extremely common thing to hear from a teacher the day after they return from an absence, indicating that your class’s behavior drove the poor substitute to leave the teacher a note so searing that it will go down in school history. Punishment follows.
In the Foldgers Cinematic Universe, these two are siblings. They also give each other looks at the end that said “after we’re done with this coffee, we’re going to fuck”.
Ok, we made it so YouTube only fetches an enter URL of a video, and when you click on a video, that opens. Only YouTube can give you the actual video link as it is stored and associated in our own database, and you only get it when logged in with Google (so basically you need an account to watch videos but not to see the thumbnails).
Now, we’ll only allow Google account sing-ins from a trusted browser or trusted website. This is of course for your security. We will provide you a custom token if you ask to approve a browser, website or an app and we’ll take careful looks to see if it violates our policies or not. If we don’t detect a valid token provided by your browser, we will display an error message and won’t allow you to sing in. Firefox has to also implement this in order to stay relevant (most people need allowing Google logins). The policy bans all things like scam websites, some other things and things against TOSes including YouTube’s. Third-party apps blocking ads will be not permitted by YouTube now. We will reject any approve request done by things like Piped and Newpipe.
Have fun with your broken pipe. If they find a fix, we will break it again (:
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.
I mean, it depends. Tutorials, for instance, when I need some info on something to fix, either physically or informatically (e.g., hosting and network stuff). Video format is utterly time expensive for this kind of stuff. I avoid it like the plague. For entertainment, I have a couple of subscriptions a la Netflix. I’m not interested at all in watching/listening “content creators”.
The tragic truth when I’ve worked at schools that start that early is that it was done so that the kids could work/take care of siblings. Even then many kids would leave school early because they would be asked to come into work. It sucked, I had kids that would sleep through my classes because they had worked extremely late.
Most of the shitty things Public schools do are because we have no money, are trying to feed/clothes/protect kids who have literally no one else. The school I worked at had 100% free breakfast and lunch, because the population was so transient/not in the country legally that it wasn’t realistic to expect them to fill out the forms to get free lunch.
The system is such a brutal grind that is also designed to extract as much as possible from optimistic, well meaning folks. There is no money, so most good things come from teachers spending their own money, staying well after contract hours, etc, etc. The burnout rate is insane, my school has already had multiple people leave mid year (and this has happened every where I’ve worked). Alcoholism is rampant among teachers. The stress caused me to develop epilepsy - and I’m not the only person I know this has happened to.
Republicans have been running a war on education for years now, and this is the result. We are forced to do things that we know are bad and ineffective (like the shitty hours, or allowing physically violent students to stay in classroom because we aren’t allowed to suspend them, or teaching to the test) because we have no resources and are expected to be the entire social safety net.
