YouTube really likes to just destroy itself huh?
I think it's funny that Google thinks putting an ad in when someone is most engaged with a video will be an effective advertising technique. So someone's going to be absorbed in the video, be presented with an ad while engaging with it and be happy that they were interrupted to be served an ad? Sounds like a great formula for pissing off your users.
For YouTube, viewers aren't the users, advertisers are.

Knew from inception Gemini was shit
They don't even need Gemini for this... They are just shoving into everyones face. I am sure data they have on people was watching the video is all they need and doesn't take "ai" to figure it out.

Just imagine coming up with shit like this being the only job you can find and not jumping off a building instead.
