Dammit, I came up with a Halloween costume too late. The plan would’ve been to dress up as a ‘like’ button, and get drunk.

You know this one’s old because he didn’t have to sit through multiple 50 second ads.

What are you talking about? There are fewer ads for this long video. It’s for your benefit. Obviously.

edit: and we’re adding randomly timed “skip” buttons at various points in the ads to make sure that you can skip when you want! Not to make sure your eyes are on screen at all times.

At first we thought internet will be a basically free and easily accessible knowledge base of all the things.

But then extreme monetisation & financial interests were like ‘abso-fucking-lutely not’ & proceeded to monopolise and segregate the inter of our nets.

Long live Wiki and all fossy things!

I remember a post on Reddit about someone putting an ad brake in the middle of a “white noise for sleeping” video.

Didn’t YouTube start putting ads even on non-monetised videos like, a year or so ago? It’s possibly not the uploader’s fault

One one hand that’s annoying and would suck if you’re a light sleeper.

On the other hand I feel like some (most?) people would sleep right through that. In which chase the ad would give money to the uploader dispute the audience literally being asleep. That’s cool because fuck ads lol

Keep in mind people tend to turn white noise up pretty loud, so the ad was probably booming

Ah that’s a fair point. ADs that are 20x louder than the video is a sure fire way to get me to close a page.

Why don’t we just use one of the FOSS white noise applications, which also have options for brown, pink and other colourful noises?
Or why don’t we just download an mp3 from soundcloud and use that? It’s not like YouTube is giving 1000Kb/s HD audio.

Oh right, YouTube is right there.
