Youtube Tracks Your Eye Movement Via Your Front Facing Camera While Ads Play.
 

True or false?

If false, when will it start? The youtube spp has access to your camera.

I can see a future where Youtube isn't free if you don't allow them to track yoyr eye movement and/or your face, while watching.

I kind fail to see how exactly eye/face movement can give you any valuable info.

Human eye, meet the disease people

What tracking eye movement can tell you:

1) Is the viewer more auditory or visual?

2) When did they start watching the ad?

3) At what points did the look away from the ad?

4) What part of the ad kept the viewers attention the most?

If your profile is an auditory views tgey will load you an ad tailored to that audience, etc.

Eye tracking technology exists that allows people with disabilities to control their computer. Where they look, the mouse goes. The mouse can then click by dwelling or other gestures.

This sort of technology easily allows a company to see exactly what a user is looking at and for how long. This information gives that company data on what ads work, what ads do not work, what ads to display to that user, the list goes on and on.

This kind of data is worth millions, if not billions.

Facebook, Google, Amazon, and the other powerhouse websites/companies have an obscene amount of power that they continue to consolidate year after year. People fear the government's when they should be fearing these companies that they willingly give their soul to.

Interesting times to live in.

I agree 100%

Remember the Vizio TV's that track your movement and nobody knew for 2 years?

It will get very annoying

no doubt google is tracking your mouse across the page :2 cents:

i dont know if you guys noticed , but when i workout, i use yt playlist to play my fav songs.
when i am near my phone, yt shows ads, but if i am away from my device it doesnt shows ads.
