Who the F wans this? Have they actally asked a single real user about this before starting to implement this?
Can I be honest i think it could be fun if it wasn't made by the evil company is aggressively anti-consumer.
I've enjoyed the games from the Grand Theft Auto series in the past and you can load custom music files that will show up as "Self Radio" which included a radio host that would poke fun at the nature of the radio station.
That said I'm pretty sure that YouTube's ones will just be Hocking s*** so I'm not down for it.
Shareholders
I wonder if part of it is paying for less streams. However many minutes an hour this interrupts, times the number of users, would surely equal a bit of dough.
Only the stupid and gullible ones.
Nobody wants this just as nobody wants those horrible auto-dubs of videos.
They were told they have to use AI so here we are
You cant really believe that Google is working in the interest of the user do you? Literally the only thing they care about is shareholder expectations. As long as AI is the hype, they will push it, no matter the opinions of users.
But how is pissing off users promoting shareholders expectations?
As long as shareholders believe that the stock price will go up, they dont mind pissing off users. And shareholders just really believe in AI growth stories sadly. Its self fulfilling prophecy.
