It could also turn out into a business model in future wherein the "enterprise" feature (to delay these updates) will cost a premium subscription - similar to how Youtube releases a premium version which only stops their crappy ads.

- deaddodo 2y agoI'm actually 100% fine with this business model, if it's cost acceptable. I use YouTube for an hour+ a day and YouTube music for hours, having access to both of those services ad-free is fine by me. Their service is 6-13usd/mo (depending on your location) and gives daily entertainment, while other streaming services want you to pay 10-30usd/mo for maybe 1-2hrs/week of content, for maybe the length of a single series season. What annoys me is creators double-dipping and adding sponsor reads throughout their video, to the point I have to run an extension (SponsorBlock) to get passed those. Or them gating arbitrary application specific features (PIP being a big one) behind their premium service.
- temporallobe 2y agoYoutube premium still shows ads, but because they’re not a specific kind of injected non-skippable ads that interrupts the content, it’s somehow not an “ad” because content creators can hide behind the term “sponsored content”. It’s an ad by another name.
- pyeri 2y agoYes. And according to recent reports, Youtube is also testing something called "sponsor block"[1] for their subscription tier. The AI will try to intelligently detect and skip that sponsored content in a video. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OX-OthHWAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OX-OthHWAA
