Solution: a report ad button for Premium subscribers.
Once a significant (number && percentage) of users report it kt is flagged,
- first to the creator
- and then shortly afterwards - if the creator does not either fix it or verify it - to a review team or even to a customer panel
Some logic can be applied to filter out abuses of the system by:
- looking for reports by new viewers of this channel (brigading)
- dismissing / less weighting for people who have previously attempted to abuse the report button
- look at the clustering of reports in time
- f1refly 5y agoWhy not just use the original sponsorskip at that point?
- skinkestek 5y agoIm not against sponsorskip. I'm just pointing out that this should be the job of the premium team at YouTube, not left to subscribers. so: - Sponsorskip is a good solution to a problem that shouldn't exist - If YouTube cared they could make this an even better experience and make sure both honest producers, paying customers and sponsors got a better deal. Today the revenue maximizing play seems to be to add sponsors on top of premium and hope advertisers doesn't realize they are being skipped.
- pbhjpbhj 5y agoSurely as soon as you have this there'll be a service to leak the time codes to non-subscribers so embeds, yt-dl's forks, etc. can auto-skip.
- skinkestek 5y agoAlready happens which us a good thing given how YouTube drag their feet on this. Maybe there had been less enthusiasm around such projects though if they didn't have legitimate uses?
