YouTube first spoke about pause ads last year when it started trialing them in select regions. At the time, the company said that when you pause a video, it will shrink, and an ad will appear next to it.

Example:

“In Q1, we saw strong traction from the introduction of a pause ads pilot on connected TVs, a new non-interruptive ad format that appears when users pause their organic content,” Schindler noted. He went on to share that YouTube’s pause ads are “driving strong brand lift results” and “are commanding premium pricing from advertisers.”

Schindler didn’t share any timelines for when pause ads will start appearing on YouTube, but we know they’ll first roll out on smart TVs. The nature of these ads, including their duration, skippability, and more is still unclear. We also don’t know if Google plans to introduce these ads on YouTube’s mobile apps.

It appears this person signs off all of their comments with a creative commons license for fair use, presumably saying how you’re allowed to use their comment. Which I’m relatively sure has exactly the same legal power as a boomer posting a Facebook picture saying that they don’t consent to having their data collected

I didn’t used to, but got tired of people making money training their AI models off of my comments. And it’s a momentary copy and paste, easy to do.

Also, considering the types of replies I’m getting these days, and the entertainment I’m obtaining from people’s reactions to them, I find it good to just include them in every comment going forward. It weirdly triggers people for some reason.

Well, when you get your law degree, come on back and let us all know what the final word from you is on this subject.

Wtf?! You copy and paste them manually? I thought you were using an app that let you set footer/signature.

Not a lawyer, but if their instance doesn’t have provisions about user submitted content, maybe there is some amount of weight to it?

I’m facepalming the fact that YouTube wants to stick ads in when you do a pause on a video, the same way that Captain Picard from Star Trek the Next Generation does. It’s an older but still relevant meme.

I’m apparently annoying some individuals for some strange reason who get triggered and can’t handle having a link in someone’s comment that points to an open source license.

It’s a waste of screen real estate that does nothing. Your “rights” automatically conflict with the rights of the platform you’re posting to, and all the other ones that you federate with. Unfortunately there’s no standing for your link to do anything. All your doing is advertising a webpage for no reason. Further, you cannot enter someone into an agreement with your licensing terms without positive consent/agreement, which you’re not obtaining nor could ever reasonably obtain on a federated platform where your content is automatically distributed to the entire fediverse.

Are you a lawyer? Honestly curious.

It sounds like you’re stating that the Creative Commons license is invalid to use whenever it’s used online. I’m pretty sure the people who made the license wouldn’t agree with that.
