I remember a post on Reddit about someone putting an ad brake in the middle of a "white noise for sleeping" video.

Was it that one that woke up a very confused baby?

Didn't YouTube start putting ads even on non-monetised videos like, a year or so ago? It's possibly not the uploader's fault

One one hand that's annoying and would suck if you're a light sleeper.

On the other hand I feel like some (most?) people would sleep right through that. In which chase the ad would give money to the uploader dispute the audience literally being asleep. That's cool because fuck ads lol

Keep in mind people tend to turn white noise up pretty loud, so the ad was probably booming

[-] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Ah that's a fair point. ADs that are 20x louder than the video is a sure fire way to get me to close a page.

Why don't we just use one of the FOSS white noise applications, which also have options for brown, pink and other colourful noises?
Or why don't we just download an mp3 from soundcloud and use that? It's not like YouTube is giving 1000Kb/s HD audio.

Oh right, YouTube is right there.

It is the same thing, if you think about it.

[-] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I see how it could be used that way, yes
