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.

I actually went looking on the Lemmy website client for a signature field in the account info area, but they didn’t have it.

So I sent a text message to myself once with the Lemmy formatted url string, and I use that as a scratch pad.

Then all I have to do is press hold on the text message to copy it once, and paste it in each of my comments.

Takes just a second.

I’m hoping someday the Lemmy web client will allow signatures, so I can just put it there and not even have to hassle it.

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