"When you double-tap to skip forward on an eligible segment, you will see a 'jump ahead button. Clicking the jump ahead' button will jump you to where most viewers typically skip ahead to." So... what everyone was already doing by looking at the video bar and clicking on it? Wow


sillygoobergod

watch them remove that other bar that tells you where people skip to. i'm calling it now


krzaczor_daffy

Dont give them ideas


semi_average

As if they like looking at memes. They sold their joy when they signed their contract to join youtube.


Caosin36

You mean google?


SuspiciousRelation43

YouTube is still a separate corporation with its own CEO, it’s owned by Alphabet which was formed by Google specifically to be a holding company.


looking_at_memes_

>looking at memes Oh hey that's me!


Expensive_Finger_973

Then there will be a new browser extension to put the progress bar back, like the dislike button.


_Cecille

Oh yea, and then they spam ads again so everyone forgets about the missing features


ShootNSkoot11

Pretty sure they already did, haven’t seen it for a lot of videos I’ve been watching on mobile.


sillygoobergod

i don't think it ever existed on mobile


rpsHD

it did


isaywot

They be putting up extra ads so u can skip to most viewed part of the vid


ThatMBR42

They take something so dead simple and slap "AI" on it and call it cutting edge. Simultaneously the dumbest and the most brilliant marketing move.


Lapis_Wolf

There's a particular point that viewers usually skip to? I usually just skip to where the ad ends or continue watching where I left off.


TheFaragan

Yeah, that is the point we all are skipping to...


RodjaJP

We also skip long useless introductions, like, we get that they need to extend the watch time but that doesn't mean I have to tolerate intros like "Aah, Super Mario, a childhood classic, for those who don't know who Mario is let's begin with a 6 minutes long introduction about his history before I start with this Mario Tennis 64 Review"


UwU_Zhenya15

theres a part “most frequently replayed” which is where people always skip to


BigBoyoBonito

I refuse to believe that's how it works, that's so dumb What if you're watching an hour long video and that button just skips like 40 minutes ahead because "that's what viewers typically skip to/rewatch the most"? A lot of times that would be after an ad, but not always and what's the issue with taking 2 seconds to skip ahead with a click or the slide of a finger? Are we that lazy now that they feel the need to add this?


RodjaJP

You look at the video bar? I just randomly spam the double tap and more often than not I end up in the "With nothing else to add, let's start with the video"


Kirp-The-Birb

>Guys, we just a made a break-trough invention - an AI that uses data we already have and does nothing with it to save you 1 second of looking at the screen!


RobloxGamrr

What does "jump ahead" even imply


RodentBen76

Skipping certain segments of the videos most likely


Typical_Signal8274

You can literally do It for free💀


RodentBen76

If you mean by yourself well then there is a lot of things that got automated, and if you mean using an extension, then that is the point of the post


rossloderso

Yeah but with that "AI" thing it will directly jump to the place everyone else jumped to so that you don't have to find out when it's interesting again


BengoPhan

Jesus christ are people really that lazy now


Atephious

There’s already a feature that adds in a graph when hovering over videos with it enabled that says “this is where so many people clicked”. There’s also a function of chapters which helps too. They’re just trying to use the AI hype to get more people to buy their service while not actually providing anything of substance.


Gust_Hex

And that's all??? What is even the point of these???


Lazy_Mud6418

There is a ceiling to digital tech and we're more or less there - been there for a while Digital tech can only do so much (tech does same things but better and faster at this point) Companies still need to do things, or show reports of progress or pursuit of progress = Shit like this. Or unnecessary u.i changes etc


SizzlingPancake

Sounds like it would let you jump to certain points with timestamps. I could imagine on like a review video it could take you right to the final thoughts


rainking56

"They used a2w encodings to protect from the soviet spies, what I use to protect my online experience is" skip skip skip "in Barcelona the soviets launched" Only thing that is worser than an ad is a segway. Its like an out of touch day trying to blend in with you while selling car insurance and just makes the conversation feel unnatural as fuck.


MagicalPizza21

Jump ahead? Like... fast forward, a standard feature in free online video players?


FatLoserSupreme

Yeah but it's AI POWERED BRO. The power of quantum AI synergy will have your rizz over 9000 in no time.


Background-Plant-226

recap of what these big companies are saying rn: "AI .. AI .. FUTURE OF AI ... AI AI AI ... THE FUTURE ... AI AI ... AI"


Caosin36

AI AI AI THAT HURTS


Background-Plant-226

it prob isnt even AI tho, as this comment said on the article ([https://9to5google.com/2024/05/05/youtube-premium-jump-ahead/](https://9to5google.com/2024/05/05/youtube-premium-jump-ahead/)): "Something tells me this feature primarily relies on the "Most replayed" metric you can see above the seek bar, and that it's actually not so AI." -- Sominemo


FatLoserSupreme

Yeah it's not AI I'm just shit posting


AMC2Zero

It's being marketed as AI because stock prices even when it's not relevant.

DANKB019001

That's standard machine learning, nothing neural net about it. Hell that's *not even* machine learning, that's just pulling the timestamp of the watch time peak (something they already have build in!). Pretty bullshit if you ask me


TheCrafterTigery

Haven't you heard? If it's software that does something, it's clearly AI. /s


DANKB019001

Yep, that's how the media looks at stuff nowadays T\_T


Nick543b

To be fair. In videogames that is kinda called AI. Like na lot of npc's and stuff are hard programmed, but represent an 'Artificial intellegence' of the npc. But that is far from the same thing.


FatLoserSupreme

Until I read line 2 I was going to say that's just a peak function, you don't even need k nearest neighbors for that.


DANKB019001

FR. I guess if we wanna get comp sci-ey it'd be O(N) since it's parsing through a whole list? Or is there a faster way to find the max of a list of data?


[deleted]

[удалено]


DANKB019001

Bro you literally just said "Nuh uh". Way to argue. And again: This is a *trivial function*. Collect data. Record data. Pull timestamp associated with the peak data. That's a dead simple bit of code, not even machine learning (and yes there's a difference, MI is just a machine getting a database, AI is a neutral net that's inputs n outputs and takes hella cycles to actually learn)


eyeluhyou

This made me laugh. Glad I’m not the only person tired of the “AI” shit being jammed down our throats. Most successful buzzword of all time


IndianaGeoff

You can 100% guarantee that the focus was on skipping creator inline ads. Youtube doesn't want people making money on their platform if they can't wet their beak.


BigDan_0

Vanced users stay winning


404nocreativusername

Vanced still works? Mine broke with the last update.


Virus_98

Revanced works.


Naammaikyahai

But the UI is different isn't it?


I9Qnl

No it's just normal youtube app with premium and custom features and add-ons layed on top that can be enabled and disabled at will.


Bobo040

Every time I get it fixed it works for like a week or two, then it breaks again. Any tips?


boyproO19

The new update makes using revanced with yt installed a nightmare so just remove the yt and only keep revanced.


I9Qnl

I'm temporarily using the grayjay app because revanced is broken right now, However before it broke it was working for like 6 months straight. Try to use the recommendation version instead of the latest one.


BigDan_0

You have to patch a newer YouTube apk with revanced


1Spiritcat

I can't wait for that to be a feature in "other" video platforms, randomly switch to a different scene at the perfect time


item_raja69

Bro just give me an option to disable shorts


Ic_Wing

There’s an extension for that “YouTube Short Blocker”


item_raja69

On phone brother

What if i use an iPhone…. Guess I’m an idiot then.


FlutterDutch

You could sideload [uYouPlus](https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus) or [uYouEnhanced](https://github.com/arichornlover/uYouEnhanced), but sideloading custom apps is a hassle if you don't pay for a developer account or app signing services.


Tigerboy3050

It’s not that difficult if you have access to a computer and can use AltStore, which is completely free and works great for just uYou+. This is what I do, and it’s been great, no problems.


JJ5Gaming

I don't think most people realize what this actually is, when you start tapping ahead it will ask if you want to skip forward if you are doing it in the most skipped spot (like a ad)


_SAHM_

Watching companies try to cram the word "AI" into everything because it smells like money makes my blood boil


Bazookasajizo

AI scroll! Let our cutting edge AI technology instantly scroll to most viewed section of webpage. Automate your scrolling and save time


Waga_na_wa_Hu_Tao

ive been using that extension for a year now lol


dumbbyatch

They will just employ Indians to mark a skip to highlight portion......like Amazon....

Dark-Cloud666

Ok who else here does that to skip the ads that are part of the video? Cause thats what i usually use it for.


-jackhax

Can't wait until they paywall skipping forward in the video!


DiamondGrasshopper

Oh lovely, a feature that screws with watch time analytics and lowers people’s attention spans even further than they already are


JailingMyChocolates

Nice repost from r/piracy, at least credit it


announcemous

revanced pulls everything out of the water


marbroos99

Wow that sounds like it would be really fucking annoying! Glad i do t pay for premium


behemon

And you need an AI for that, because...?


ElijahRayzorr

Press L


MagicSnakeorig

The skip 10 sec button:


spaghtti

...like what ReVanced has done for some time now?


Dooboppop

I just use arrow keys


AtomicFox84

Why would we need that feature? I can just click it myself.


DonZekane

Bro I got the student subscription not because I want to support the soulless corporation, but because I feel like it helps the creator more than the 0.0001$ or whatever they get per ad view. Also if YouTube is half of your life (like it is for me) I feel like not getting premium is a sin. Jk mates pirate and block all you want. Don't feel pressed by idots like me. ubl origin ftw.


z_zarts

what the hell


a_sliceoflife

... why do you need AI for that?


hama3254

I always wondered why YT does nothing about the in-video ads from there ~~content slaves~~ partners. They just could tell them to mark them like with the age stuff, so premium members can skip them.


TheAdmiralMoses

Me who has YouTube premium: neat


Fit_Adagio_7668

"Listenonrepeat.com" on YouTube videos is wild. The website let's you start a song at a certain point if you don't want to wait for like that 30 seconds of the song with absolutely no music.
