You guys are seeing ads?
It’s wild that shit like this gets so many upvotes, I would have assumed the average lemmy user would be a bit more technologically inclined.
I either dont see ads or dont see the video. I wasted too much time of my life either watching or hearing ads.
If i ever remember a jingle or some bs, i imediately boycott the brand. Die in hell coca cola.
Same, honestly its best to treat any adverts that cross your field of vision as a personal attack and act accordingly.
Why would ads interrupt your video? I would just watch it locally where it was edited and finished.
I have never once bought something from a youtube ad but I have decided not to buy something because I saw it in a youtube ad.
Hate it all you want as long as you keep using it. That’s the goal.
I think this meme is talking about ad inserts and not YT…
Doesn’t matter, the worm is in your brain, and you know or are reminded the product exists. That’s all they’re aiming for.
Also, a lot of people think they’re immune to advertising. No one is. The only protection is never seeing them.
On the very rare occasion I choose to watch some media with an ad I can’t skip, I mute the volume and put my hand over my eyes, so I can just see a corner of the screen and know when it’s over.
Correct, you won’t remember the time you got interrupted by an ad. You will however remember the name brand compared to no brand when you see them, and are already conditioned to associate brand with quality and worth.
I associate it with annoyance and will only consider it after research.
Or even if you do remember the brand and decide you’ll never buy it, the product category is in your brain. Don’t buy Milwaulke and instead save money on a Ryobi? Same company.
The average consumer doesn’t know that AdBlocker exist.

You know what really grinds my gears?
Airplanes with those banners that they tow…at the fucking beach.
Im out here in the sun trying to relax and enjoy the day when this loud ass fucking single engine prop plane has to fly low and slow right across the beach to tell me about some personal injury lawyer or some used car dealership
Absolutely guarantees I will not patronize their business.
I am disgusted its even allowed, it’s a complete waste of everything involved.
But if everyone did, in fact, agree on this, ads would be detrimental to every company’s survival and they’d stop making them. I guess even though people hate ads interrupting their media consumption, they still work.
CEO: Got it. More ads in products.
…any tricks to block youtube ads on a work computer that absolutely can’t have anything installed on it?
Youtube and music.youtube are a good source of music at work, so far the best I got it to to skip forward then back until ads stop. Works, but requires active input.
It’s easiest to bring your own player or RaspberryPi and listen locally.
But if you absolutely insist on streaming to your work PC you can always run a VM in your browser: https://dev.to/dchif/run-a-virtual-machine-in-your-browser-2kjk
Can’t connect any private devices.
VM… maybe? I’m not familiar with this at all - if there’s any potential for data compromise, it’ll be a no-go. The comps we’re using need to be HIPAA compliant, and I’m guessing this is not, but if there’s potential here, it’s worth exploring.
I’ll do some homework on how these work, and if it looks good to my monkey brain, I’ll bounce it off IT (who works very closely with legal - they DO NOT fuck around with HIPAA). If I get the official green light from them, this might be the winner.
I don’t know anything about HIPAA so don’t take anything I say as advice. But I very much doubt your IT department would be ok with you running a VM, and if they were, it would be far better to use real VM Software, rather than using your browser. Using your browser would be more of a “they’re not going to find out” thing.
Which brings us back to my more serious suggestion of bringing your own device. I’m fairly certain your IT department would be more ok with you bringing an audio player (that you’re not connecting to the internal network) than using the “you can run anything a browser” loophole.
But if, as you mentioned, shit gets stolen that isn’t really an option either. Maybe use Headphones / Earphones with your phone and keep them on your person at all times?Yeah they don’t give a damn if we bring our own devices, so long as we don’t plug it into the computers. I’d guess you’re right about IT’s response to the VM, but I’d kind of intrigued at the same time, so I might dig a bit and ask them anyway. Worse case, they say no - no biggie.
This is definitely not a fly under the radar kind of situation though - getting caught in a HIPAA violation is a guaranteed loss of job and license, probably a gigantic fine, and… possibly prison time? High stakes for an ad blocker lol. Anything techy outside of our normal work responsibilities (like a VM) would need to start with getting approval in writing.
…more realistically, I think my best option is going to be a small bluetooth speaker and one of those thin cable locks to secure it to my work station. I don’t want any wearables since I’d need to take those into patient rooms, which would look unprofessional at best; and become biohazardous at worst. I can have some soft tunes on while I chart, but otherwise forget it’s there when I’m doing more hands-on care.
Lol enshitification doesn’t care if you’re mad,
I disagree about using memes that promote a maga chud.
This is precisely why I will never ever, everfuckingever get/buy/use Liberty Mutual Insurance.
Their fucking ads are everywhere, and they’re always “oh we’re so quriky, lulzzor emu so random” millenial fucking cringe humor.
