I will never pay for Youtube or accept ads. Yes, even if it would bankrupt them. I am more than willing to let it all burn.

I love that the algorithm knows that you went to pee

You can have my eyeballs on your ads when you out then from my cold, dead head.

Pretty sure there were patents where they record audio and camera to detect if the user is present to pause and resume ads

My kids and I always make loud farting noises until we can skip the ad.

AI has to advance to a point it can reliably ID someone using the camera despite different models and potential obstructions.

This scenario is obviously incredibly unlikely and some dystopian shit. They'll make the ads interactive first, if anything, the interaction being a requirement to move on. In either scenario, I'm just leaving. I pay for Amazon Prime. The delivery service works really well where I live. I won't go on the video service because there might be ads. I am so turned off by ads, it makes it super easy to just not use shit.

Where YouTube Premium, and Spotify, and any number of services that I pay for (on a family plan I share with five friends), differ from Amazon is that none of them are tied to some other valuable service. If any of them hit me with ads, I'm out, ezpz. I was 13 in 2020. I pirated 'everything, because I didn't have any money. I don't pirate anymore because I am 37, and I have money, and I have no problem paying for good services. But I'll equate not having money at 13 with refusing to pay for ads at 37, in that pirating is the solution to both problems.

Ha, it's definitely not, but I can't go back and change my comment now, so I must accept the shame.

Hopefully by that point, it can also be used to generate a fake video file of "someone paying attention" to output to a virtual camera :)

It would be the same technology, because both use cases would require AI to have built an accurate model of what human faces look like
