Advertisements?
When this thread is about a live stream showing wild animals and raw nature, your thought processes goes to advertisements?
I hope you're being incredibly sarcastic, otherwise... Just yuck.
Unless we're advertising for the majesty of nature, for whom there are no entities that would pay (big bucks at least).
- xp84 1y agoI think GP meant that the ambient content could be accompanied by a “tasteful” static sponsored message. Imagine a black stripe at the bottom that said “Sponsored by Home Chef” Given how much ads on the web escalated in intensity though, I don’t think anyone would buy sponsor spots like that though.
- hnlmorg 1y agoWe understood what the GP was thinking in terms of ads. The objection is that any form of advertisement, regardless of how tasteful it might be presented, is the polar opposite of the intended purpose of tranquil windows into nature. People like these kinds of live streams because it offers a relaxing form of escapism. Dumping even a static ad only serves to add distraction from that atmosphere and thus undermines the very point of having the live stream open in the first place.
- xp84 1y agoI think I agree with you tbh. Then again I go pretty far out of my way to not see ads, other than billboards and maybe those on the sides of buses and bus shelters! To me it’s worth paying not to have them. So I bet a screen would be no different for me.
