YouTube Trying to Make Ads Unskippable



Article: YouTube Pitches Massive TV Viewership, Ad Targeting at Upfront - Adweek

The ads on YouTube are INSANE! I get it that they're trying to force them on people any way they can. But, I think that more people are just going to stop watching instead of sitting through them. But, YouTube is trying to find ways to make people sit through them, no matter what. It's fine having a few ads, but when you get three minutes of ads in an eight-minute video, that is just crazy.

YouTube Goes Hard Against Ad Blockers



Article: YouTube is getting serious about blocking ad blockers - The Verge

YouTube is getting hardcore when it comes to people using Ad Blockers to stop seeing ads when watching YouTube content. While I understand they're wanting to make money, the amount of ads on YouTube has gotten out of control, even on short videos. I believe that it is all a way to funnel people into paying the exorbitant $14/month to avoid seeing ads on the platform.

Disney's "Star Wars" Are Fan Fiction





Today, "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" has been released on video. So, today I wanted to state my case regarding these new movies:

These Disney "Star Wars" movies are Fan Fiction. They are not "canon." George Lucas was completely involved with every aspect of the previous six "Star Wars" movies. Here, he has zero involvement. So, I consider them no different than if someone was just posting blog entries with their story ideas.

Fans really need to just divorce themselves from the thought that these new movies are "official" in any way. They are products of a business transaction. It's the same as Hostess, which was bought out by other people. And, the snacks, even though they have the same name and packaging, don't taste anywhere near as good as they used to. Disney just bought the ability to put "Star Wars" on whatever they wanted, and they have.

We can now see what an incredibly terrible decision that George Lucas made by selling all of Lucasfilm to Disney with zero conditions. Since Michael Eisner, Disney has been purely focused on profit, not creativity. Their only focus is to take a property and squeeze every dime out of it. That is what they are doing with "Star Wars." It is deeply unfortunate what has happened.

But, "Star Wars" fans have to make it known that they don't accept what Disney has done as "canon," "official," or whatever. Because it isn't. A deal was made, contracts were signed, product was produced. That isn't creativity, it's just business.
