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.
Bc screw the users and their reactions 😄.
We really need a good YouTube competitor. This is beyond ridiculous at this point.
Google has great customer service, your just not the customer.
Will we have two of them, Odysee & Rumble.
I don’t know anything about Odysee, but Rumble is a shithole.
Why?
I’ve not really used it except for the SLS because it’s streamed exclusively there. No major issues except one time long videos (sls streams can last 6 hours) would take a lifetime to load.
Both seem/are single point of failure choices. I like a fediverse YouTube alternative.
Odysee is blockchain-based. So there’s that.
Good luck getting a lot of people with a absolute shit ton of spare bandwidth and storage space
Also, The new ball-bearing guillotine is getting rave reviews from guillotine operators!
For all you know the victims rate it positively as well but they don’t submit feedback
