There are two issues.
On youtube the content was uploaded by creators on the understanding it would be freely accessible to everyone.
Additionally it's a matter of user control and rights. They don't get to tell the user what their user agent does and what content it should fetch or display to the user or what code it should run.
It's their website, but it's my device.
The next step is for youtube to require you to watch the ad and stop playing if you look away.

YouTube in this case is the layer between creator and watcher, making sure they get paid. Wether that is by ad money or subscription money. Before that, things were much more difficult for video creators. > The next step is for youtube to require you to watch the ad and stop playing if you look away. The next step for YouTube is hopefully to put the entire site behind a login and remove all ads.
- LocalH 3y agoGoogle is an advertising company first and foremost, so I doubt that'll happen. But, this kind of stuff is a big reason they want remote attestation so badly.
- carlosjobim 3y agoVideo creators can also move to other platforms, or make other platforms that are subscribe only. It only takes a very small percentage of channels currently on YouTube to make for a high quality streaming platform that covers the interests and needs of a large part of potential subscribers.
