Majority will keep using, for a while, until years later more see what has happened and move.

Mean while profits on marketing go up.

Google has gone to absolute shit. Unless you let them stick their hand down your pants and fondle you, you can't even use their search engine with out getting hit with a captcha so they can use browser fingerprinting to track you. We were all hearded into the slaughter house and they are just now starting up the kill machines.

Mhm, I see that point, although I find it concerning given that the quality of the UX platforms like youtube has kept a consistent decline over the past decade. It feels like google keeps amassing more and more reasons for people to enable adblockers but I also understand youtube needs to be a profitable business and at some point you need to show ads

[-] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 7 points 1 year ago

True, these are the challenges of freeware, ads are required unless you pay or become a pirate.

Youtubers/social media now mostly have promotions within videos, so we went back to how cable functions.

Thoughts on Social media/Rumble/twitter and other video platforms will evolve over time?

I think Alphabet (Google) will keep doing things that make people leave there other platforms, youtube will take a while so changes will be more gradual.

As a small note, in an unexpected turn of events, that "sponsor block" extension popped up also blocking promotions, I find it incredibly amazing that blocking ads can even go that further

I can't put my finger on it, but somehow I feel like youtube is irreplaceable, I don't say this out of some internet patriotism, I just think the initial momentum of inertia really has to be massive to make it budge, while with fediverse-stuff you can gradually generate content and maybe some people will be attracted (?)

And twitter's trajectory is to fucking weird and unpredictable right now that I just have no clue ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Awesome, I did not know blocking sponsers was a thing, wow.

Yes, you are right, youtube will be harder to leave for people, but Tiktok/twitter/etc. are grabbing the attention away from yt.

They all are trying to keep you on their platform as much as possible, for ads and data collection.

The new big thing may be bettet at that...?

Thanks for your input!

[-] egeres@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh yes, you're right, tiktok is really eating youtube's meal... and about the new big thing, hums, I'm not sure how it would look like ๐Ÿค”

Thank you for your input as well!! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโœจ

TikTok is definitely hitting for certain demographics, but YouTube is still king in the long form department and I don't see that changing unless they completely alienate their watchers and creators or someone comes along and offers significantly more money (to creators).

Everything is replaceable. Nothing should live forever.

[-] sfgifz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It won't be a change no one notices though. Even non-savvy people who use ad-blockers are obviously going to notice that the internet suddenly became a significantly terrible experience.
