Did that happen? Every other post in the thread seems to be under the assumption no attempt was made

That's...basically what I said.

I might be wrong, but I think GDPR means in this scenario if you won't pay, you aren't consenting to the ads. Meta by GDPR standards should be blocking you, not forcing ads on you.

They can't create a implicit permission for it.

Well if you're fine with textbook answers, then you'll be fine with people pointing out, in textbook answer, that the president has no real bearing on this since it's not being written by him.

Or if you're not fine with a textbook answer, then we can circle back to you being outraged for doubling down. Your call 👍

Outrage is doubling down when people gave completely reasonable answers to what you said.

Could be luck, but of those I only found Viewtube and Freetube to be responsive at this time of day to a live stream (the others either loaded endlessly or said they couldn't load the page)

That was only of the web/desktop ones.

Freetube seems to support youtube chat as well, which the others don't.

Honestly given the outrage you're giving in this thread I don't feel like any regulation would make you happy, regardless of who did it.

The problem is I still would hate comcast more than I hate google

Is that not answered in the original article?

The general argument legally is that the AI has no exact memory of the copyrighted material.

But if that's the case, then these pixels shouldn't need be patched. Because it wouldn't remember the material that spawned them.

Is just the argument I assume would be used.

Obviously this is using some bug and/or weakness in the existing training process, so couldn’t they just patch the mechanism being exploited?

I'd assume the issue is that if someone tried to patch it out, it could legally be shown they were disregarding people's copyright.

I...really don't think it was ever about engagement. I think most free users just didn't have an adblocker.

I think ublock orgin's adoption just picked up over the years, and it's not as if Youtube gets cheaper (I'd imagine it just gets more expensive)

I mean engagement is great, they make the algorithm work (well, "work") but I'm pretty sure the ads were the selling point (for google) before premium was even an option.
