1 year agoI know how obnoxious ads have become on the internet and I’ve seen how they have progressively gotten longer and more prevalent on YouTube but I don’t really know how to feel about this. Conceptually, they are handling and storing so much video data their operating costs must be astronomical. As far as I know, advertisement is the main way they recoup any of that cost so I can’t really blame them for this. Maybe they are just reaching a point where they are just too massive to work.
I’m curious if the problem is how bright LED lights are or something else. I recently bought a car and it has an automatic brights option. Basically, it switched on the brights automatically for some situations. I turned it off because I felt it was turning them on when I didn’t need them.
