Yes. The way it works now is:
But presumably with the new system, your computer will just receive a continuous bitstream with ads embedded in them. What was previously happening on your machine through HTML or JavaScript and was detectable by ad blockers, will now happen on YouTube servers beholind the scenes.
The whole point of having ads be separate from the video is for youtube to easily distance itself from malicious ads. If an ad is malicious it can easily be reported and taken out of commission. But if ads are now part of the video, what stops an ad from being an ISIS beheading clip in the middle of a video made for children? If there is still a way to still report it, then there is a way to recognize the ad.
Also how will this interfere with creators? Editing a video and giving it a proper pace is already a huge challenge. But now ads can just be automaticaly cut into it without the creators control? That’s gonna fuck up so many quality channels. That’s already a big problem with the current system, bit at least you can skip or block them.

Shit, you’re right, I’am.
Copyright protection only exists in the context of generating profit from someone else’s work. If you were to figure out cold fusion and I’d look at your research and say “That’s cool, but I am going to go do some woodworking.” I am not infringing any copyrights. It’s only ever an issue if the financial incentive to trace the profits back to it’s copyrighted source outway the cost of doing so. That’s why China has had free reign to steal any western technology, fighting them in their courts is not worth it. But with AI it’s way easier to trace the output back to it’s source (especially for art), so the incentive is there.
The main issue is the extraction of value from the original data. If I where to steal some bricks from your infinite brick pile and build a house out of them, do you have a right to my house? Technically I never stole a house from you.
I wonder how this will affect throphies and achievements. Imagine a conversation where one guy says “Man getting this throphy was so hard, I had to fight a boss and his 5 goons that kept healing themselves and I burned through all my powerups and barely made it” and the other guy is like “I only had to fight the boss and 2 goons and they never healed, I didn’t even know there were powerups.” The first guy is going to be like “YOU WHAT?”
I think that was intentional, to make you read the article.
Just found some more in my other playlists:
The Dua Lipa, Elton John song is a bit slow, but perfect for those late work commutes with low traffic. My favorite song with this kind of vibe is Moonshine Got Me or You Wish - Nightmares On Wax which uses the same guitar line.
One of the weirdest weird music videos I know is The Parashute Ending - Birdy Nam Nam, Birdy Nam Nam are amazing Scratch DJs.
Speaking of Dua Lipa. Theres an awesome Dua Lipa x Madonna/ABBA mashup but saddly it’s not on Spotify.
If you want more "Racing"music:
This one has been a daily listen for me for the past 2 weeks. It will give you “Free Bird” level of Lead foot on the gas.
Other songs that are dangerous to listen to in a car:
Techno/Electro:
No vocals:
High BPM Rock:
Theres also:
But it dwells a bit too far into House.
The ABBA cover is a banger and sounds significantly different from the original and Madonnas classic rendition.
If you’re into newer iterations of classical pop/techno songs, here are couple of recommendations:
There are many more, but it’s really hard to find a cover that either enhances or builds upon the original or at least keeps the original songs soul intact. The bold ones are personal favorites.

Steams reviews have a much higher weight in regard to a games success than any other form of review. The new Battlefront games came to Steam way later, when EA Play got introduced and a big chunk of EAs exclusive library moved to Steam. By that point the Battlefront games got all patched up and were somewhat beloved. But a native Steam release like BF2042 was met with harsh criticism, which ultimately let to the game’s failure. There is a reason why AAA studios like Blizzard, EA, Ubisoft or Microsoft prefer not to release their games on Steam and each have their own launchers. The lack of transparency is also why the Epic Games Store is an attractive alternative for publishers. I’d like to think that Steam has the most solid review system one could ask for, something that other launchers are severely lacking. An “overwhelmingly positive” status for a game is an automatic success and everything below “mixed” is nearly a death sentence. Even games that are successfull, like the recent CoD titles start out “negative” or “mixed” on Steam release. But that doesn’t matter anymore, because the publisher already got his money from their own launcher and console releases.
