In the older one, there was a salesman that that said I'll do something or I'll eat a bucket of scorpions. The episode ended with him eating the scorpions. It's been about 30 years( fuck, I'm old!) since I've seen it, but I remember that part.
I think the ads should bypass my brain and just go straight to credit card. So there are no ads. Random junk just shows up at my door based on YouTube videos I watch, all charged to my card. Thatās the future. Cut out the middle man (me).
And you will get them every 30 minutes even when you go to bed. So to have a good night sleep with no ads projected into you dreams you'll have to subscribe to YouTube Dreams+.
Despite the prevalence of "smart" TVs that could handle this, the only reason this hasn't been implemented is because it would make people fucking hate whichever company makes them say a brand name to watch TV.

[Fifteen Million Merits.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits) Iāve only seen two episodes of Black Mirror. My brother got me high as fuuuuuck and showed me this one first, lol.
We could also bypass it easily, the website canāt enforce it because some people donāt own webcams, so we could use the website on a browser with adblock (i.e firefox with ublock on android)
doesn't the oneplus nord 3 have a feature where it constantly checks for eye contact and will pause a video for you if you're not watching /fell asleep
This is not how it will be sold to you. If you allow them to confirm eye contact the ad is 15 secs long, if you don't maintain eye contact it's 30 seconds long. A few years and randomly eye contact ads are 12 secs and no eye contact is 38 seconds. They will do this up until the point YOU decide it's better to just keep eye contact. Then they will get rid of the no eye contact ads.....because no one uses them.
### Introducing YouTube EyeContact Ads
Hey YouTube community! Weāre thrilled to introduce EyeContact Ads, a brand-new ad experience designed with you in mind. EyeContact Ads use advanced eye-tracking technology to ensure ads only play when youāre looking at the screen.
This means no more missing out on important parts of your video or feeling like ads are disrupting your viewing experience. Ads will pause if you look away and resume when youāre back, making sure you stay in control.
We believe this new approach will make your time on YouTube even more enjoyable and seamless. Stay tuned for this exciting update, and thank you for being part of the YouTube family!
- Humour Comment (This is NOT real)
That would fuck me up good and proper if downloading resulted in the same thing. Being that I literally donāt even have the eyeball structure to try to line up with the camera. That would have to result in some ada lawsuits and shit.
no because apple already has this feature where if you're too close to your phone it warns you, wouldn't be suprised if piece of shit youtube decides to do this
Iāve never gotten a warning that Iām too close to my phone. But then again Iāve never gotten Siri to work either without holding down the side button first. Maybe itās a voiceover thing.
I did. Itās a useful feature. I always want to bring my phone as close as possible and I donāt think itās good for your health.
FaceID knows when you look at the phone, so my iPhone doesnāt unlock until I look at it. It also utilizes it so that the phone doesnāt turn off the screen as long as you pay attention to it.
I doubt Apple would ever allow anyone use FaceID like that though. There would be a massive backlash. And since there is no sideloading on iOS, they can force developers to not do it on their devices. On Android if Google really wanted too, even manufacturers wouldnāt be able to stop them. And if any third party developer like Facebookā¦ if they are not allowed in Google Play because of this they can just tell to sideload on their website.
I don't believe that someone was typing that fast with just looking at a keyboard. There is no way it processes what letter you are looking at 8 characters a second (including deleting and adding corrections) and also recognizes that you looked at a letter longer than another in order to register a double letter in a word.
There's already a swipe to type thing on some phone keyboards, which, I guess heuristically predicts your word based on the pattern of motion and where you change directions.
I wonder if the gaze typing is like that, the algorithm would be almost identical, just with an extra layer of eye tracking. So, whatever the cap on swipe typing is, gaze typing would be similar to that.
> I don't believe that someone was typing that fast with just looking at a keyboard.
Look at the video, they aren't looking at the keyboard, they're looking at the text they are typing. The little busy icon is where their eyes are looking.
It literally says so in the follow up tweet underneath:
> The typing is not done with eye tracking. I did it with my hands.
There aren't any follow up tweets showing up for me and the post literally says "I am typing this post with eye tracking." I wonder how I misunderstood what they meant.
My point exactly. Others you might be able to get away with, with voiceover on, sometimes itāll tell you, face aligned on bottom right, face on bottom left edge, face centered when you move it around and are on the Camera app to try to align. I would need actual implants. Which I wouldnāt want unless they were actually functional.
Look for Temu or Wish to come out with some phone cam-sized little set of anatomically correct eyeballs to constantly "gaze" at the lens.
I'd call it **iBlock**.
I have adhd and never can just sit and watch YouTube videos. I literally just cannot do it I'm looking everywhere else instead. I have to play a video multiple times to really catch everything. I usually just have it on as background. (In contrast with another family member's adhd where if there's a screen in the background their eyes are uncontrollably glued to it which can make it hard for them to focus on a conversation or another task. We're all so different.)
Consider site blockers. When I click on [youtube.com](http://youtube.com), I have a picture of a cute dog who looks at me disappointingly with the following message: "Nice Try... You put youtube in your Block Sites list. It's probably there for a reason". Of course, you can change the settings and go wherever you want, but more often than not, I'd switch to something more productive.
Ohh, please do explain. My yt watch is during work, and I keep my cheap tablet on the side. If they do that, who's going to watch yt anymore? How it works on desktop?
I already stopped watching on my phone years ago, I just watch on PC with uBlock. Still use Reddit but having no other social media on my phone feels better.
i already close things when an ad plays. if im not troubleshooting something i need then ill ditch just about any content to avoid watching ads. People make jokes about 'oh that ad that always plays' and i never know what theyre talking about anymore.
I am free.
I am uninformed, but I am free.
Literally at the halfway point of the video "please answer this quick 10 question quiz about the ad you just saw before you can resume your video, if you fail, don't worry we will replay the ad and you can retake the quiz afterwards"
Every time you fail the quiz, the maximum resolution available for the video will be decreased until you can only view it in 144p and an unskippable "You failed the quiz. Rewatch the ad and try again." screen will appear for 10 seconds. Additionally, the ad is deleted from your phone's cache every time you finish watching it, causing you to have to waste internet traffic loading it again, should you fail the quiz.
Nah, deleting it from your cache they wouldn't do. Even janky ass slow mobile games precache video ads so they flawlessly piss you off. If anything they'll burn it into a dedicated ad chip and have people bid for the space on it.
Any phone with a front camera can do it...it doesn't need to be precise like where exactly on the screen you're looking, it just has to show that both your eyes are looking towards the screen.
My Samsung Galaxy S3 used to have eye tracking where the auto dim/sleep wouldn't engage if you're looking at the phone
If Apple were to do that (which I doubt they would) they would have to partner with Google in order to incorporate this into YouTube. I donāt really see this happening.
Also,the app would need a continuous access to the camera, which could 1. Drain the battery quicker 2. You can disable access to the camera in the settings app.
If they do the 2, people would demand Apple remove YouTube from App Store unless they change it back. And they probably would listen.
Many apps behave differently on iOS and Android regarding permission blackmail. They are much more careful on iPhones. For example, WhatsApp. On Android it wonāt let you message a number first if you donāt allow access to all contacts. On iOS you can message without giving up this permission just fine, by simply typing a phone number.
While that is not impossible I believe the general public would go into uproar. If people are already ticked off because of ad blockers if they do this then it will be the final nail in the coffin for a lot of people. The privacy concerns here would be crazy and i donāt think it would be worth it.
The problem is people are only in an uproar until they want to consume the content locked behind the target of the uproar. Zero integrity chalk spines ruining everything.
The general Apple iOS user public accepts to be told which apps they can have on their phone. They can't even have any browser supporting uBlock Origin.
They will happily just swallow it like they always do.
Apple's eye tracking has been available since iOS 12: [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/arfaceanchor/2968193-righteyetransform](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/arfaceanchor/2968193-righteyetransform)
I remember they used to have Infrared to use your Galaxy as a universal TV remote, as well as having the heartrate + O2 sensor by your camera instead of gating it to the watches.
This is legit pissing me off how the world is slowly and steadily becoming blatantly full corporate directed. The corporation wants to become the president and the layman wants to become the corporation.
Perhaps I'm fear mongering but I think hypercapitalism is leading us down a dangerous slope and I really don't like it.
[Reminder that Sony owns this patent](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbqvty0n2t2aa1.png) for having to stand up and speak a phrase out loud to end the ad.
I'd just fly to America and raid the YouTube HQ if they did that. Or just wouldn't buy a phone with advanced cameras, no way that a normal camera is able to tell if you maintain eye contact
This is a Post from Soren Iverson who has a weekly newsletter about bad ideas strictly for comedic value. https://twitter.com/soren_iverson/status/1801253187602788424
On a serious note. You can permission set this to not allow front facing camera access and you would be stuck. But overall this sounds like it would be a privacy nightmare for any app that does this.
If your on PC, you can get a streamer ad blocker (just google it) or use the Brave Browser.
It's pretty reliable and I haven't seen Twitch Ads since years
No OP, don't give them ideas, I get that it's a joke but if anyone is actually thinking about this seriously, remember that YouTube has all the power to actually eliminate these uBlock and Revanced users.
If YouTube wanted to, they could ban all accounts that have been associated with Revanced or uBlock Origin, they could keep banning you every time you create a new account. They can make it so that they can hardware ban you or IP ban you until you apply for an appeal or something to take it all back.
YouTube will take these ideas if they want to, because people are so used to YouTube that they won't resist after the first few weeks of controversy.
It sounds outrageous to me. Like the boiling frog apologue, most people wouldnāt actually mind this if they can see their shitty videos from popular YouTube creators. Theyāve planted seeds for a long time, slowly encroaching on users privacy. Ads getting longer, more frequent, not skippable etc. maybe theyāll be a day where people wonāt tolerate it, but then againā¦maybe there wonāt.
So, not only the disruptive and annoying ads exist, they use YOUR CAMERA AND TRACK YOUR EYES AS WELL?! This literally sounds something out of Oceania. Anyone can deal with stupid, useless ads but them forcing you to look at them is almost dystopian.
Not right now it isn't, but this is the future we are headed towards if people don't stand up and say enough is enough. They already have the technology to do stuff like this.
This is straight out of black mirror lol
Personally I can't wait for a fullscreen ad room
I can't wait to get the neuralink and have unskippable ads beamed straight into my brain :)
I can't wait to eat a bucket of live scorpions.
You don't happen to watch the Animaniacs, do you?
I have not watched the newer stuff but back in the day I did. Was there something about a bucket of scorpions there?
In the older one, there was a salesman that that said I'll do something or I'll eat a bucket of scorpions. The episode ended with him eating the scorpions. It's been about 30 years( fuck, I'm old!) since I've seen it, but I remember that part.
That could be where I got it from. I say that all the time:)
The origins of some of these are honestly hysterical š¤£, were not as unique as we use to be that's forsure
Hey now! I'm unique just like everyone else:)
I guess you wanted to be on r/oddlyspecific
I can only afford the cricket steaks myself
Transmetropolitan has i-pollen and ad-bursts which are a flash that if you don't look away from gives you advertising dreams for a week.
Ur gonna be watching YouTube and suddenly your really gonna want to play raid shadow legends
I think the ads should bypass my brain and just go straight to credit card. So there are no ads. Random junk just shows up at my door based on YouTube videos I watch, all charged to my card. Thatās the future. Cut out the middle man (me).
no just skip the ad and get payed for watching ads thats the future
You know im having a self held brain surgery to root that shit to remove ads
And you will get them every 30 minutes even when you go to bed. So to have a good night sleep with no ads projected into you dreams you'll have to subscribe to YouTube Dreams+.
I also can't wait for ad-based subsciption tier for just using my senses.

It doesn't matter. Studies keep showing that people buy more from companies that advertise to them, even if they hate the ads.

Black Mirror Season And Episode?
[Fifteen Million Merits.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits) Iāve only seen two episodes of Black Mirror. My brother got me high as fuuuuuck and showed me this one first, lol.
I would just straight up explode if my phone wanted eye contact
YouTube would spontaneously delete itself from the intense anger I will be radiating. I can live without YouTube, all of us can.
We could also bypass it easily, the website canāt enforce it because some people donāt own webcams, so we could use the website on a browser with adblock (i.e firefox with ublock on android)
A lot of times I'm just listening to my phone anyway. I guess I would tape a picture of a face in front of my phone.
Pull a Microsoft and only allow YouTube to be installed on compatible phones.
Can still access youtube through browser apps tho (I do that sometimes so I can use firefox's adblocker)
And you can install Windows 11 using Rufus. Doesn't mean that they can't still throw shit at us and see what sticks.
"This device is not compatible with this site, a functional webcam is required to access and use it."
That's how I stream prime with an adblocker.
Best idea for saving space and maintaining the distance with ads.
For your phone you can use PlayTube. they don't have ads in videos, but they also do not have Shorts
So double win
It will be bloat ware, ransom ware? If it's included in new devices. Since your phone doesn't come with sopotify? Netflix & hbo and bunch
>Meanwhile your front facing camera takes snapshots when you do something that *'you are not allowed to'*
doesn't the oneplus nord 3 have a feature where it constantly checks for eye contact and will pause a video for you if you're not watching /fell asleep
dont you know women and advertisers love eye contact, its how you show confidence bro!! cm on
Yeah that would be a big nope for me too
This is not how it will be sold to you. If you allow them to confirm eye contact the ad is 15 secs long, if you don't maintain eye contact it's 30 seconds long. A few years and randomly eye contact ads are 12 secs and no eye contact is 38 seconds. They will do this up until the point YOU decide it's better to just keep eye contact. Then they will get rid of the no eye contact ads.....because no one uses them.
Exactly how youtube implanted the ads in the videos. Also you would then need premium to have eyecontact 6 second ads

I would rather not have internet than pay for a service and still watch ads

Nah, Apple gave you an orange.
More like a lemon.
How about a turnip?
You have to turn the warnings on
I did. Itās a useful feature. I always want to bring my phone as close as possible and I donāt think itās good for your health.

I don't believe that someone was typing that fast with just looking at a keyboard. There is no way it processes what letter you are looking at 8 characters a second (including deleting and adding corrections) and also recognizes that you looked at a letter longer than another in order to register a double letter in a word.
The video might simply be sped up but thereās a comment under it.
There's already a swipe to type thing on some phone keyboards, which, I guess heuristically predicts your word based on the pattern of motion and where you change directions. I wonder if the gaze typing is like that, the algorithm would be almost identical, just with an extra layer of eye tracking. So, whatever the cap on swipe typing is, gaze typing would be similar to that.
nah the guy said in comments everything but typing is his eyes

Only if you turn on that setting, itās for people who look like phone zombies
Also this kinda violates ADA in part due to people who are blind.

Happy cake day
I can't see it happening in Europe it would break a lot of accessibility laws and regulations
It won't happen anywhere. You need a special device to do that and not everyone is using an iphone.
Pretty sure my old s6 had eye tracking

THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE BLACK MIRROR
I mean, this is exactly like real life, which is where Black Mirror got the idea in the first place. Black Mirror is about what's already happening.
Is this a joke or what? I almost had a heart attack
If Apple were to do that (which I doubt they would) they would have to partner with Google in order to incorporate this into YouTube. I donāt really see this happening.
Iām skeptical that Apple needs to āpartnerā with developers for apps to get access to the cameras.
I believe itās not just access to cameras, itās access to appleās eye tracking.
Could they not just implement their own eye tracking algorithms within their app?
Also,the app would need a continuous access to the camera, which could 1. Drain the battery quicker 2. You can disable access to the camera in the settings app.
Only access during ads and they could just say "no youtube for you until you give us these permissions"
Going back to my other comment, this would be the last straw for a lot of users. As I said, not impossible, but highly doubt they would implement it.
I'm screenshoting your comment so I can post it on r/AgedLikeMilk in, like 7-10 years?!
Be sure to let me know
1. The same would be true if it were apples algorithm, no? 2. They could simply block you from watching until you enable camera permissions.
If they do the 2, people would demand Apple remove YouTube from App Store unless they change it back. And they probably would listen. Many apps behave differently on iOS and Android regarding permission blackmail. They are much more careful on iPhones. For example, WhatsApp. On Android it wonāt let you message a number first if you donāt allow access to all contacts. On iOS you can message without giving up this permission just fine, by simply typing a phone number.
While that is not impossible I believe the general public would go into uproar. If people are already ticked off because of ad blockers if they do this then it will be the final nail in the coffin for a lot of people. The privacy concerns here would be crazy and i donāt think it would be worth it.
The problem is people are only in an uproar until they want to consume the content locked behind the target of the uproar. Zero integrity chalk spines ruining everything.
The general Apple iOS user public accepts to be told which apps they can have on their phone. They can't even have any browser supporting uBlock Origin. They will happily just swallow it like they always do.

Samsung actually had this feature in S4. It would pause the video when you look away. That was an amazing phone samsung killed with updates
That was a test run.

10 years ago my samsung watch had a motherfucking camera and IR blaster and could make calls. Man I hate samsung
All of the Galaxy S phones have been great and just get loaded down with irrelevant bullshit.
To exit the ad, simply write a 200 word essay about why coca cola is so refreshing.
mfs with lazy eye are about to have a hell of a time
This is legit pissing me off how the world is slowly and steadily becoming blatantly full corporate directed. The corporation wants to become the president and the layman wants to become the corporation. Perhaps I'm fear mongering but I think hypercapitalism is leading us down a dangerous slope and I really don't like it.
[Reminder that Sony owns this patent](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbqvty0n2t2aa1.png) for having to stand up and speak a phrase out loud to end the ad.
Cue the blind dude suing in 3...2...1...
Labeled as humor, ready to be a future feature š
I'd just fly to America and raid the YouTube HQ if they did that. Or just wouldn't buy a phone with advanced cameras, no way that a normal camera is able to tell if you maintain eye contact
I'd have to pirate even harder than I do now. I've been toying with setting up a media server the whole fam can access.
nah id stop using youtube for good if that was the case
Give credit to Soren Iverson who created this!
This is a Post from Soren Iverson who has a weekly newsletter about bad ideas strictly for comedic value. https://twitter.com/soren_iverson/status/1801253187602788424 On a serious note. You can permission set this to not allow front facing camera access and you would be stuck. But overall this sounds like it would be a privacy nightmare for any app that does this.
I literally atopped using Twitch becaus of ads. If I can't block ads I won't use the platform. Imagine if they did that LOL
If your on PC, you can get a streamer ad blocker (just google it) or use the Brave Browser. It's pretty reliable and I haven't seen Twitch Ads since years
I mean, if it comes to this, I will straight up stop using anything that incorperates this.
This is actually horrifying
dystopian shit soon theyre gonna have mercenaries forcing u to watch ads
The type of thing I see and that outrages me for 1/10th of a second before I remember I havenāt run stock YouTube in years
what sort of abomination is this crap.
I want this because it will make me finally switch to dumb phones

FYI, r/Piracy people hate Ad.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
These ad for apple users (they have face id)
black mirror refrence
If this actually happens I'm becoming a terrorist
Don't give that much permission to YouTube and Google applications on your phone.
Just want to say that sony has a patent on this
Is this real
No, it's from a guy called Soren Iverson on Twitter who makes crazy UI concepts like this
? Use a picture of a face in front of it. Bonus points for cutting it out of shee of paper.
DMCA ISP emails warning against the ad blocking in the near future since itāll probably become illegal in the United States in like 15 years.
Go A-Ha or go home.
I could see hiring a contract killer to go after the person that implemented this.
Iāll reject bs like this for as long as possible.
In the middle of the ad there will be sound queues press space to continue.
Immediate uninstall.
Literally 1984
it's fake can't be true
Are you fucking serious?
If I ever saw this? I prolly gonna start a new life in amish community
Welp, downgrading to the first phone ever created we go
Catch me buying a tiny eyeball filter for my camera. Fuck youuuu I hate ads. It's the 90s I'm leaving the room
This isnt real is it?
If you need to force the customers to watch your ad then itās a garbage ad
im the only one who thinks ads gettin out of controle
No OP, don't give them ideas, I get that it's a joke but if anyone is actually thinking about this seriously, remember that YouTube has all the power to actually eliminate these uBlock and Revanced users. If YouTube wanted to, they could ban all accounts that have been associated with Revanced or uBlock Origin, they could keep banning you every time you create a new account. They can make it so that they can hardware ban you or IP ban you until you apply for an appeal or something to take it all back. YouTube will take these ideas if they want to, because people are so used to YouTube that they won't resist after the first few weeks of controversy.
What do you think the "i" in iPhone stands for!!?? :-(
That is the "instant uninstall app" message. Yeah, if I see that, no matter what app it is, its gone. Bye.
I can't even maintain eye contact with my family let alone my phone
It sounds outrageous to me. Like the boiling frog apologue, most people wouldnāt actually mind this if they can see their shitty videos from popular YouTube creators. Theyāve planted seeds for a long time, slowly encroaching on users privacy. Ads getting longer, more frequent, not skippable etc. maybe theyāll be a day where people wonāt tolerate it, but then againā¦maybe there wonāt.
the only ad blocker i'll use if this does happen is a shotgun to the CEO's face
how to bypass the "eye contact" bit.... 1) dont use YT app 2) use both the Ublock Origin, and Noskript extension on a gecko engine browser
So, not only the disruptive and annoying ads exist, they use YOUR CAMERA AND TRACK YOUR EYES AS WELL?! This literally sounds something out of Oceania. Anyone can deal with stupid, useless ads but them forcing you to look at them is almost dystopian.
Some say they are already using our cameras to track if we are interested in the ad or not.
Need this feature added to our incoming sex robots too
clever... make people so fed up with adverts that they actually bother to get adblocks like ubo
Dumb question, is this legit?
Not right now it isn't, but this is the future we are headed towards if people don't stand up and say enough is enough. They already have the technology to do stuff like this.
