8 hours agoFucking hell, I had to check several times that I wasn’t reading an onion-y article.
I barely use YouTube and when I do, I use tubular or freetube apps, but I think I’m going to use it even less from now on.
I’m sorry to tell you that you’re not even the first one thinking of this. I’ll have to look for the source but a company was trying to do this on phones. Basically they’d track your eyes with the phone camera to stop the ad when you’re not looking at your screen.
Edit: found it
